Genoa 2 – 2 Inter

🇮🇹 Serie A Week 1 game 🔴🔵 Genoa vs Inter ⚫️🔵 on Saturday 17 August 2024 ended with a draw. The 2024-25 Serie A season kicks off with a shock for the reigning champions of Italy. 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.
Genoa shocked Italy’s champions by scoring first in the 19th minute. Alessandro Vogliacco managed to get past Inter’s goalkeeper Yann Sommer with a close-range right-footed strike that nestled into the bottom left corner of the net.
