Genoa beat Salernitana 2-1

Pippo Inzaghi, who missed out on a touchline ban due to heartbreaking last-gasp losses to Juventus and Napoli, needed to win this match. With Federico Fazio, Boulaye Dia, and Lorenzo Pirola out due to injury, Lassana Coulibaly and Jovane were on international duty, yet they placed new signing Toma Basic right into the starting lineup. With Koni De Winter out due to suspension for Genoa, ex-Tottenham wing-back Djed Spence started the game as the starting wing-back due to injuries sustained by Stefano Sabelli, Junior Messias, Aaron Martin, Ridgeciano Haps, Morten Thorsby, and Caleb Ekuban.

Salernitana had a great start when Nwankwo Simy launched the counterattack. Domagoj Bradaric received a through pass from Antonio Candreva, who drew back from the left to set up Agustin Martegani, who hammered the ball eight yards into the net's roof.
