Instead, it was Alessandro Buongiorno who sealed the victory after even Milinkovic-Savic had taken \u2013 and scored \u2013 a penalty.<\/p>\n The match had finished 1-1 after Lorenzo Lucca\u2019s first-half header for Napoli was cancelled out by Sebastiano Esposito in the 67th minute, following an accidental assist by the home midfielder Scott McTominay.<\/p>\n Atalanta set up a quarter-final against Juventus with a 4-0 win over 10-man Genoa. It was Daniele De Rossi\u2019s first defeat as Genoa coach after taking charge at the beginning of last month.
