After two games lost to the wire against Naples (2-1) and Juventus (1-2), Salernitana welcomed an opponent more within their reach in the person of Genoa. The start of the match got off to a flying start for the bottom of the championship thanks to a goal from Augustin Martegani (2nd). The Argentinian served by former Lille player Domagoj Bradaric concluded a great collective action. But the joy was short-lived in Salerno who saw his opponent return very quickly through Mateo Retegui (13th).
