Genoa – Sudtirol

Genoa held on at home to edge Sudtirol 1‑0, earning their first point of the campaign and remaining stuck in 19th place with a meagre three goals for and ten against after five matches. The visitors, who sit second in the table with eleven points from an unbeaten run of three wins and two draws, saw their flawless record marred by the solitary defeat. The result widened the gap between the two sides, as Sudtirol’s impressive defensive record of just three conceded goals now includes a clean‑sheet loss. This encounter also tipped the head‑to‑head balance in Genoa’s favour, the only time they have prevailed over Sudtirol this season.
