Como controlled the majority of Monday night's Serie A match against Genoa and appeared to be on their way to a three-point victory after Nico Paz's first-half goal, but Patrick Vieira's team equalised late through Caleb Ekuban shortly after the home team was reduced to ten men.
Following the international break, Vieira and Fabregas each made two substitutions: Malinovskiy and Stefano Sabelli for the visitors, and Maxence Caqueret and Niklas Kukn for the hosts. Nico Paz, who was given the Serie A Young Player of the Month title prior to the game, opened the scoring at the Stadio Sinigaglia with a thunderbolt just 13 minutes in. From about 25 yards out, he executed a beautiful spin before hammering his effort into the net's corner. Genoa also came close to finding the equaliser before half-time, but a brave block from young left-back Alex Valle prevented Patrizio Masini from close range, shortly after Lorenzo Colombo’s effort was thwarted in the area.
