On the occasion of the 32nd day of Serie A, Genoa achieved a valuable success against Sassuolo (2-1) this Sunday noon. Former Marseillais Ruslan Malinovskyi opened the scoring with a sumptuous long-range strike in the 18th minute, finding the top corner and launching Daniele De Rossi’s Rossoblù. After two defeats without scoring against Udinese and Juventus, Genoa needed to react and quickly took the upper hand in the match.
But Ismaël Koné, also a former OM player, responded to Malinovskyi’s missile by equalizing in the 57th minute for the team led by Fabio Grosso, victoriously recovering a ball pushed back after a corner. Finally, Genoa had the last word thanks to Caleb Ekuban (84th), served after a determined breakthrough from Messias. A major success for the Genoese in the race to maintain, while Sassuolo sees its series of two consecutive victories come to an end. As a reminder, Koné has already achieved six goals in the Neroverdi jersey.
