Genoa and Como faced each other on the Ferraris pitch at 20:45, giving life to an exciting match. After a promising start by the home team, it was Fabregas' team that prevailed, showing a great performance in the first 45 minutes.
The match saw Como start with momentum. The team almost scored in the 17th minute, when Paz forced Leali into a decisive save. Shortly after, in the 17th minute, Da Cunha broke the deadlock with a precise shot from the edge of the area, taking advantage of a defensive error by Pinamonti. Genoa attempted to respond with a counterattack orchestrated by Ekhator, but Reina proved to be up to the task. However, the visitors were more incisive, coming close to the net again with Fadera and Strefezza. Thus, the first half ended with Como leading 1-0.
“The internal energy of the group will be fundamental for the race,” said Gilardino, underlining the importance of the mental aspect.
The match against Como was the last match before the break for Genoa, who were coming off a win against Parma. In view of the match, Gilardino had to deal with several important absences: there were 9 unavailable, but the coach said he was confident in his players' ability to give their all. Como presents itself as a fearsome opponent, capable of defeating even renowned teams like Atalanta and with a peculiar style of play that reflects the philosophy of its coach.
“It will be a complicated match,” said Gilardino, highlighting the need to maintain attention and tactical discipline.
Concluding the evening at the Ferraris, it remains to be seen how both teams will face the next challenges.
