Today there was only one match in the Serie A championship, but it was special because fans could witness the Genoa derby.
The match was full of emotions and fierce competition, with a total of eight yellow cards shown to players from both teams.
Initially, the Genoa team played more actively, and just before the end of the first half, Giovanni Simeone had a great opportunity to score, but his attempt was saved by the goalkeeper. Later, it was close to a goal after a pass from the Argentine Mauricio Pinilla.
The first half ended without goals, but at the beginning of the second half, Sampdoria forward Luis Muriel tested the strength of the goalpost. Ultimately, this Colombian player scored after a defensive mistake by Ezequiel Munoz and put his team ahead.
As it turned out later, this precise shot was enough for victory. Thanks to this, Sampdoria climbed to ninth place at least until Monday, leaving their opponents in 15th place.
Result:
Genoa 0 - 1 Sampdoria
[0-1] 71' Luis Muriel
