Genoa picked up their first win under Daniele De Rossi, coming back from a goal down to beat Verona 2-1 at home in a 13th-round Serie A match. The Griffins are unbeaten in their last 4 games, while their opponents remain without success in the league this season.
Thus, the team patronized by Dan Șucu climbed to 15th place, with 11 points, while Verona remains the “red torch” in Serie A, with only 6 points. In this match, Nicușor Stanciu was only an unused reserve.

The visitors opened the scoring in the 21st minute when Daniel Mosquera broke into the box and passed to Rafik Belghali who scored with a close range shot. This goal motivated the Genoese, who managed to equalize in the 40th minute, through Lorenzo Colombo, after a cross from Vitinha.
Furthermore, they managed to take the lead in the 62nd minute when, from a cross from a free kick, Leo Ostigard headed in the near post and Morten Thorsby also headed in for his side's winning goal.
The Mastiffs could have avoided defeat in the 84th minute, but Martin Frese's header was blocked by the crossbar and subsequent shots by his teammates were blocked.
For Genoa, a hot program is coming in December. The first match takes place on the 3rd, away to Atalanta, in the Italian Cup, and the return to Serie A will also take place away to Udinese.
On December 14, Daniele De Rossi's team will face Cristi Chivu's Inter, and 7 days later they will receive a visit from Atalanta. The calendar year ends on “Olimipico”, on December 29, away to AS Roma.
