Carpi responding to the urgent wake up call towards salvation.   Mathematically speaking, the victory was needed for Carpi to keep up the race for salvation.   Mission accomplished this victory securing Carpi  to remain in Serie A next season.   There are no precedents between Carpi vs Genoa at the Alberto Braglia Stadium in Serie A. Carpi were promoted from Serie B this season.

It’s Genoa to open the score in the 34th minute with forward Leonardo Pavoletti defeating Carpi goalkeeper Vid Belec with a left footed shot in the top left corner.   The assist is by midfielder Blerim Dzemaili.

Problems for Genoa just before ending the first half.   Referee Rizzoli giving a second yellow card to defender Armando Izzo after a foul on Carpi defender Gaetano Letizia in the 45th minute.  Genoa remaining with 10 players.

Carpi with one player in advantage profiting and equalize the score in the 45th minute.   It’s midfielder Antonio Di Gaudio to score defeating Genoa goalkeeper Eugenio Lamanna with a right footed shot in the bottom left corner.   The assist is by forward Jerry Mbakogu.  Great move for Genoa not wasting chances for goal  because the first attempt was by forward Alessio Cerci though missing his left footed shot to the left…. Di Gaudio having a better shot and scores….

Suddenly amnesia for Genoa defenseeeeeeeee….  in extra time still in the first half and in less than 2 minutes there you go another goal to take the lead!   Yep, Carpi overturning the result and after losing, now they are leading.   It’s forward  Lorenzo Lollo to smack a left footed shot in the center.  The assist is by midfielder Lorenzo Pasciuti with a cross.   Carpi players celebrating while encouraged by the fans to keep battling.
