Genoa won the Serie A Week 29 match on Friday, March 14, 2024, at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium in Genoa, Italy.  The Grifoni secured a victory against Lecce, making significant progress towards safety. The match concluded with a score of 2-1 in favor of the home team, thanks to two goals from Miretti and a penalty kick converted by Krstovic. With this win, Genoa climbs to 35 points, sitting in 12th place, and Vieira’s squad heads into the break with a comfortable 13-point cushion above the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Lecce stays in 16th place, only two points clear of third-from-bottom Empoli.

Genoa had the upper hand in the first half, demonstrating more effectiveness in the opponent’s territory, even if they didn’t create a multitude of chances. Lecce entered the second half with confidence, but Giampaolo’s team could only score via a penalty taken by Krstovic, who has already hit double figures in our league.

The match …

Genoa opened the scoring in the 16th minute when Fabio Miretti found the back of the net with a powerful right-footed shot that soared past goalkeeper Wladimiro Falcone. The setup for the goal came from Ruslan Malinovskyi. After facing a close call, Genoa capitalized on the opportunity with Miretti’s volley, expertly assisted by Malinovskyi.

Genoa increased their lead in the 45+2 minute just before halftime. Fabio Miretti found the net with a left-footed shot aimed at the bottom left corner, assisted by Ruslan Malinovskyi. With his back to the goal, Miretti skillfully turned to his left and outmaneuvered Falcone right before the first half concluded, thanks to Malinovskyi’s setup.

Lecce made it a closer game in the 68th minute when Nikola Krstovic scored from the penalty spot, placing a right-footed shot into the bottom left corner. The penalty was given after Alan Matturro handled the ball in the area. With this successful conversion, the Montenegrin striker managed to get past goalkeeper Nicola Leali and reignite the contest.

✅  Stats before the game

Genoa enters this crucial match for survival after playing two significant games to secure their place in the league. Vieira’s squad managed to draw 1-1 against Cagliari and Empoli, and prior to that, they achieved a 2-0 victory over Venezia, which has helped the rossoblu establish a 10-point cushion above the relegation zone.

On the other hand, Lecce is facing a tough situation.  They have suffered three straight losses, the most recent being a narrow 3-2 defeat at home to Milan, despite a strong start in the first half. The last time Giampaolo’s team celebrated a win was on January 31, when they triumphed 3-1 against Parma. Since then, the Salento side has only managed to earn 2 points from 5 matches, but they are still managing to stay out of the relegation zone for the time being.
