The return to victory away from home after almost 3 months is determined by the goals of Vitinha and Ostigard. Verona KO and second to last in the standings, with chances of staying in Serie A significantly reduced.

🔥 Ostigard is a bomber, 5th goal and 2-0

At the 86th minute, Genoa wraps up the match with the specialty of the house from two of its most representative players: Martin and Ostigard.

A lateral free kick from the Spanish player finds the central defender in the middle of the area, whose header is of the highest level. Fifth goal for him in the league and fifth assist from Martin.

💥 GOLAZO Vitinha, Montipò's mistake

At the 60th minute, Vitinha unlocks the game. The forward, just entered in place of Ekuban, recovers the ball from Belghali and without a second thought shoots from 30 meters.

A very powerful shot that surprises Montipò, whose responsibilities are clear. Despite the power of the shot, the trajectory was central. Positioning error by Hellas' goalkeeper. The fifth goal of the season is a special way to celebrate his birthday.

📉 1st half slow, Akpa-Akpro's crossbar the only thrill

The first half of the match offers very few thrills. The visitors, despite a theoretically very offensive lineup dictated by the simultaneous use of Malinovskyi and Messias in midfield, hardly threaten at all compared to what was seen with Roma.

In fact, Verona is more dangerous, coming close to scoring after 3 minutes with Akpa Akpro hitting the crossbar.

✅ The official lineups

VERONA (3-5-2): Montipò; Nelsson, Edmundsson, Valentini; Oyegoke, Akpa-Akpro, Gagliardini, Harroui, Frese; Bowie, Orban.
