The 13th day of Serie A continued this Sunday with a poster pitting Genoa, 17th, against Cagliari, 16th. At Luigi Ferraris in Genoa, the locals quickly found themselves in difficulty by conceding the opener on a penalty converted by Razvan Marin (0-1, 8th). However, Patrick Vieira’s men – who led his first on the Italian bench – reacted immediately thanks to Morten Frendrup (1-1, 12th). Back to back at the break, the two teams were unable to decide between themselves after the locker room.

We finally had to wait until the hour mark to see the situation settle with a new achievement by Fabio Miretti (2-1, 59th). Yes but now, in the last moments, the visitors obtained a new penalty and Roberto Piccoli did not tremble (2-2, 88th). Despite a last opportunity from Vitinha (90+1), the score no longer changed. With this draw (2-2), Genoa remains stuck in a dangerous 16th place while Cagliari is now in 15th place.
