Atalanta scored eight goals against Ochoa!

Atalanta crushed Salernitana with a historic win (8-2) and remains in the fight for European places. It was a difficult afternoon at the Gewiss Stadium for Mexican goalkeeper Guillermo Memo Ochoa, who has so far performed well with his new team, which he joined after the World Cup in Qatar.

This is the biggest win that Ochoa, 37, has received in his career, surpassing the two times he has received 7 goals: in June 2016, with Mexico, in a 7-0 defeat against Chile in the Copa América Bicentenario and later of four months, with Granada, in 7-1 against Atlético de Madrid in La Liga.

The match will also go down in the ‘calcio’ records as a Serie A team has not scored eight goals since April 1996. Inter then endorsed another 8-2 against Pádova.

The scoring festival was opened by Ivorian Jermie Boga after five minutes, although in the tenth minute, Senegalese Boulaye Dia equalized for the visitors.

It’s a mirage. Nigerian Ademola Lookman put the hosts back in the lead on 19 minutes and four minutes later, Giorgio Scalvini scored the third.

Ochoa for a penalty but the Koopmeiners score

In the 38′, Ochoa saved a penalty from Teun Koopmeiners, who took the rebound and brought the ball back into the net to score the fourth in the 38′ while in the 41′ Rasmus Hojlund scored the fifth.

Success does not decrease in the second half. Lookman repeated scoring the sixth on 54′ and two minutes later Hans Nicolussi Caviglia stopped the bleeding by scoring Salernitana’s second.

However, Brazilian Ederson and Nadir Zortea wrapped up the big points and the win for Gian Piero Gasperini’s team.

The victory leaves Atalanta in sixth place, in the European zone, awaiting the game of Rome, seventh to 3 points, against Fiorentina. La Salernitana, sixteenth, is nine behind the drop.
