S🔴🔵 Result Genoa 2 - 2 Inter ⚫️🔵 

 The 2024-25 Serie A season kicks off with a shock for the reigning champions of Italy on Saturday 17 August 2024 at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium. Inter, typically strong defensively, appeared unusually vulnerable, allowing two goals and lacking their usual composure. Individual mistakes from Sommer and Bisseck overshadowed Thuram's impressive two-goal performance.

Alessandro Vogliacco puts his team ahead, but Thuram turns the game around with two goals. In stoppage time, Junior Messias sends the fans into a frenzy by scoring on the rebound after a penalty. A total of 33,300 fans, including season ticket holders and general admission, filled the stands, creating an incredible atmosphere with a stunning display.  Ultimately, the Nerazzurri had to settle for a draw against a determined and resilient Genoa.

Inter remained with a solid track record, having gone unbeaten in their last 11 matches against Genoa, with eight wins and three draws. Moreover, the last time Genoa celebrated a victory over Inter was on February 17, 2018, when they won 2-0 at the Ferraris, featuring an own goal by Andrea Ranocchia and a goal from Goran Pandev.

Inter has maintained an impressive record against Genoa, remaining unbeaten in their last 10 Serie A encounters, with eight victories and two draws.

The last time Genoa triumphed over the Nerazzurri in the league was on February 17, 2018, when they won 2-0 at the Ferraris, thanks to an own goal by Andrea Ranocchia and a strike from Goran Pandev. In their 56 home matches against Inter, Genoa has drawn 21 times, including the last two, while securing 18 wins and 17 losses. This is the highest number of home draws for Genoa against any team in the league, matching their record against Fiorentina.
