The Men’s First Team suffered a 2-0 defeat away at Genoa on Serie A Matchday 9.
THE MATCH REPORT
In the 12th minute, Genoa broke the deadlock with a shot from Kingsley Ehizibue that was deflected by Andrea Cambiaso, leaving Guglielmo Vicario with no chance. In the 20th minute, the Bianconeri tried to rouse themselves with a cross from Pierre Kalulu and a header from Federico Gatti, which was cleared for a corner by the Genoa defence.
Luciano Spalletti’s side tried to get back on track, but just before the half-hour mark, the home side doubled their lead through Tommaso Baldanzi. Just before half-time, Kalulu had the Bianconeri’s best chance to score, but the number 15 failed to hit the target following an pass from Weston McKennie. At half-time, it was 2–0 to Genoa.
The Bianconeri tried to get back into the game straight away. In the 52nd minute, McKennie played a through ball to Randal Kolo Muani, but the Ligurian goalkeeper came out low to cut out the pass after the Frenchman had taken a slightly heavy touch. The attacking momentum continued and, in the 64th minute, a corner taken by Edon Zhegrova found Bremer, who got ahead of everyone but failed to hit the target with his header.
Ten minutes later, it was Zhegrova again who went it alone with a dangerous shot that forced the goalkeeper to tip the ball over the bar. In stoppage time, the Bianconeri created the best chances of the match. First, Teun Koopmeiners struck the crossbar with a thunderous shot, before Jhon Lucumi was denied a goal by a superb save from the home goalkeeper. Finally, Nick Woltemade, following up on the move, was blocked by the Rossoblu defence. The match in Genoa ended 2–0.
