Genoa Achieves First Win of the Season
Genoa secured its first win of the season by defeating Sassuolo 2-1 with a last-minute goal, moving off the bottom of Serie A.
The victory was especially significant for interim coach Roberto Murgita, who took over after Patrick Vieira's dismissal last week.
- Genoa rose to 18th in the 20-team table.
- The team is now one point ahead of Verona and two points clear of last-placed Fiorentina.
Goalkeeper Arijanet Murić’s clearance went as far as only Ruslan Malinovskyi, who fired a superb strike into the top corner from 25 meters out.
Domenico Berardi equalized for Sassuolo two minutes after halftime, but Leo Østigård's glancing header in stoppage time secured the win for Genoa.
