 Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Lecce, 14th position with 21 points and a negative goal difference of -9
Genoa, 11th position with 25 points and a negative goal difference of -3

Genoa made a comeback and won the Serie A Week 22 game on Sunday 28 January 2024 at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium in Genoa, Italy. The favorable moment continues for GGenoa with their second consecutive victory, after the one in Salerno. Lecce, on the other hand, is suffering its third consecutive defeat and is unable to emerge from this negative period.

The first half was dominated by the Giallorossi, with Lecce first missing a penalty with Nikola Krstovic saved by goalkeeper Joseph Martinez. The redemption moment arrived for Krstovic scoring later the opening goal.

In the second half, both teams came close to scoring, but Genoa had the upper hand, scoring two goals in just a few minutes. In the 70th minute, Gudmundsson took a perfect free kick, hitting the ball first onto the crossbar, then onto the goal line, where Retegui pounced and headed the score level. Six minutes later Vasquez hits the crossbar, Retegui is ready again on the rebound, and this time he passes to the center where Ekuban hits an overhead kick and doubles the score.

Genoa have only fallen at home twice (against Fiorentina and Milan), holding teams like Inter and Juventus to a draw. Lecce, on the other hand, far from the friendly walls has not yet won.

Nikola Krstovic defeated Genoa goalkeeper  Josep Martínez with a right-footed shot to the bottom left corner. The assist is by Valentin Gendrey.

Genoa equalized in the 70th minute. Mateo Retegui defeated Lecce goalkeeper Wladimiro Falcone from very close range with a headed shot to the bottom left corner.

Genoa overturned the result in the 75th minute. Caleb Ekuban scored with a right-footed shot to the bottom right corner. The headed assist is by Mateo Retegui.


✅   Stats before the game: Lecce won the first leg against Genoa (1-0, 22 September 2023) and could beat Grifone two matches in a row for the first time in Serie A – the Apulian team had achieved only one success in the previous 14 matches against the Ligurians in the competition (5N, 8L). Genoa is unbeaten at home against Lecce in Serie A: five wins and two draws in the previous seven; in general, Grifone has more domestic precedents under its belt without ever losing in the competition only against Venezia (eight). Genoa lost their last Serie A match against Lecce without scoring, after having scored at least two goals in eight of the nine previous matches against the Apulian team in the competition; the last time that Grifone did not score in two consecutive league matches against this opponent dates back to 1998, in Serie B. Lecce have ended four of their last five Serie A matches with a defeat and without scoring, after having remained unbeaten in all the previous five; in the last five days of the championship, in fact, the Apulian team is the one that has collected the fewest points (one) and the only one that has not won even once.
