This Sunday, the 22nd day of Serie A continued this Sunday with a first confrontation between two teams from the second half of the table: Genoa and Lecce. Despite a shaky start to the match, the partners of the former Marseillais Strootman and Malinovskyi won painfully against the Giallorossi (2-1).
Indeed, the visitors were the first to take control in this part. If Krstovic missed the opportunity to open the scoring from a penalty, the Montenegrin finally won his case by mystifying Martinez shortly after the half-hour mark (31st). With their backs to the wall, the Griffons showed character to equalize through Retegui (70th) before Ekuban gave his team a definitive advantage (76th). Undefeated for seven games now, Genoa continues its rise in the rankings and moves up to 11th place. Lecce, who missed a great opportunity to distance themselves from the red zone, temporarily remains in 14th place.
