VERONA (ITALPRESS) – Great salvation of Genoa. The men of Daniele De Rossi pass 2-0 to Bentegodi against Hellas Verona, in the match valid for the twenty-nineth day of Serie A 2025/2026: they decide the networks signed by Vitinha and Ostigard.
Great start of match by the hosts, which after only 3′ hit a clamorous pole on a Akpa Akpro shooting-cross. The answer of the redundant does not wait, since at 8′ Ekuban tries to take advantage of Vasquez’s ass by kicking with the mancino, but Montipò blocks the ball without problems. After a sparkling start, the two teams slightly lower the pace of play, even because of different errors committed by both sides. At 34′, however, Bowie suddenly turns around and kicking towards the door: Ostigard opposes and misfortunes the threat. Verona tries to be seen in the offensive zone even in the first time final, with a shot of Akpa Akpro that turns off on the bottom. The two teams, therefore, go to rest on the part of 0-0 at the end of the 2′ recovery.
In the opening of resumption the Genoa comes a beautiful action, but ends with a too weak conclusion of Sabelli. Mr. De Rossi decides to change something by inserting fresh forces and the new Vitinha immediately repays the confidence of his coach: at 61′ the attacker leaves a 30-metre missile that beats Montipò, beffed despite a rather central conclusion. So Heralds tries to react to restore balance in the score, but its offensive manoeuvres result little reasoned and incisive. The sub-enters like Belghali and Frese cannot shake the steps and, indeed, lose several balloons favoring the reparations of the opponents. At 86’ Leo Ostigard, among the best in the field, takes advantage of a Martin cross on penalty soccer to achieve the final 2-0 and arm the second consecutive victory of the redoub, the first in three months away.
By virtue of this result Genoa jumps to 33 points in the standings, while the Hellas Verona remains penultimate at 18. The Ligurians Friday will host Udinese at Ferraris; for the Venetians, on the other hand, next Sunday will be the transfer of the New Balance Arena against the Atalanta.
