Thanks to its Scandinavian contingent, Genoa defeated Cagliari 3-0 on Monday, securing its Serie A membership for another year. Top-tier football at Stadio Luigi Ferraris for the upcoming season was guaranteed by Genoa's first home victory since February 24. Morten Thorsby of Norway scored the first goal in the sixteenth minute with a classic header. Eleven minutes later, Dane Morten Frendrup extended their advantage with a skillful side-foot finish in a crowded penalty area.

Icelandic attacker Albert Gudmundsson scored his 14th league goal in the second half. Slumbering in 14th position, Cagliari was only three points above the relegation zone. Cagliari and second-to-last Sassuolo are separated by just six points. Two more clubs will join Salernitana, the worst team, which has been demoted. There are still four games to play.
