Aaron Martin made his return from suspension, while Milan Badelj, Kevin Strootman, and Stefano Sabelli were unable to travel due to injury. The Grifone were coming off a shocking 4-1 victory against Roma on Thursday night. Kingsley Ehizibue, Enzo Ebosse, Gerard Deulofeu, Brenner, Christian Kabasele, and Vivaldo Semedo were all unavailable, and Udinese were remained winless.
Although this was the first game held here since the stadium's name changed from Dacia Arena to Bluenergy Stadium, Genoa scored the first goal. When Marco Silvestri attempted to play out from the back right, he missed a ball, which Morten Frendrup intercepted and passed to Albert Gudmundsson, who then unleashed an unstoppable rocket from beyond the box into the roof of the net. Johan Vasquez successfully stopped Roberto Pereyra's shot from 12 yards as Udinese attempted to rally. Lorenzo Lucca then levelled with his first Serie A goal.
