Andreazzoli admired Genoa victory

The Grifone successfully navigated their way through the first competitive match of the season, setting up a Fourth Round tie against either Ascoli or Trapani.

“We expressed ourselves well considering the inevitable difficulties of it being our first real game of the season, but the result was important and the lads showed determination,” Andreazzoli said in his Press conference.

“It can be considered a positive evening and we are very happy that so many fans came to see us. I tip my hat to Imolese, as they showed themselves to be a team with a precise identity”.

Former Ajax midfielder Lasse Schone scored his first Genoa goal, a trademark free kick, while Riccardo Saponara went off injured.
