Genoa failed to win their Serie A Week 8 match against Bologna on Saturday, October 19, 2024, at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium in Genoa. The action wraps up with a draw means both teams walk away with a point in the overall standings.

The first half was dominated by one side, with Orsolini scoring in the 37th minute to put his team ahead. However, the second half brought a flurry of excitement with three additional goals. In the 56th minute, Odgaard increased the lead with a stunning left-footed volley, making it 0-2. But Genoa fought back, with Pinamonti stepping up to lead his team. First, he capitalized on a mistake by Casale in the 73rd minute to score, and then in the 85th minute, he delivered a spectacular shot from 15 meters that left the Genoa goalkeeper stunned. In the four minutes of added time, both teams pushed for a winning goal but couldn’t find it. This gripping contest in Liguria concluded at the 94-minute mark.
