The Genoa team defeated Torino 3:0 in a match from the 26th round of the Italian Serie A. The Genoa team forged its success in the first half, with Brook Norton-Cuffie opening the score in the 21st minute, Caleb Ekuban making it 2:0 in the 40th, BTA reported.

Torino's chances melted to almost zero in the added time of the first half, in which Emirhan Ilkhan was sent off with a direct red card.

After the break, the Lithuanian from Torino Gvydas Gineitis saw that the home goalkeeper had come out and tried to pass it from a distance, and his attempt was very good, but it went close to the post.

Genoa struck again, with Brazilian Junior Messia being released on the left and with a powerful shot he scored the ball behind the back of goalkeeper Alberto Paleari.

With the success, Genoa overtook Torino, the team being 14th with 27 points, the same as the "bulls", who are one position lower in the standings.
