GENOA winning the Serie A Week 18 game defeating Sassuolo on Sunday 5 January 2020 at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium in Genova, Italy.   The dream for salvation is gaining momentum for Genoa battling to avoid relegation next season.  Genoa reaching 14 points climbing from the 20th to the 19th position.  Surely, it’s a good debut for new Genoa coach Davide Nicola who replaced coach Thiago Motta.

It is Genoa to open the score in the 29th minute.  Forward Domenico Criscito defeating Sassuolo goalkeeper Andrea Consigli converting a penalty with a left footed shot in the bottom right corner.   The penalty is conceded by Pedro Obiang after a foul on Antonio Sanabria inside the penalty area.

Sassuolo equalizing for the 1-1 in the 33rd minute.  A moment of redemption for Pedro Obiang after having conceded a penalty, now his way to say sorry is by scoring a goal to equalize.  Obiang defeating Genoa goalkeeper  Perin with a right footed shot in the center.  The assist is by Manuel Locatelli.

Genoa taking the lead again in the 86th minute.  It is foward Goran Pandev to seal the result for the 2-1.  Pandev defeating Cosigli from close range  with a headed shot in the bottom left corner.
