Genoa-Spezia 2-0, rossoblù one step away from salvation – Sport

Genoa wins the Ligurian derby by beating Spezia with a dry 2-0 gained in the second half. A result that risks complicating the life of the Italian coach’s eleven once again sucked into the hot spots of the standings where they fight not to relegate. Ballardini’s team, on the other hand, (provisionally) rises to thirteenth place with 36 points. Salvation is really one step away. First half substantially balanced with Genoa but more committed to seeking the goal of the advantage. Pandev realizes it but the referee cancels after a check by the Var for a foul by Destro on the La Spezia goalkeeper. The 1-0 arrives in the 62nd minute: thanks to Scamacca who scores with an empty net, taking advantage of a clumsy intervention by Provedel on the conclusion of Zappacosta. At 86 ‘Genoa makes an encore with a nice counterattack by Shomurodov who overtakes Erlic in speed and pierces the goalkeeper with a splendid network from twenty meters
