And during the match the Mexican defender’s team had to come from behind and at Hellas’ home, which makes the victory doubly valuable.
Because he had to push against practically from the start of the game since it was eight minutes in when Federico Bonazzoli scored the first goal.
In the play, Bonazzoli got rid of Johan who couldn’t do much in the face of a hasty exit from goalkeeper Josep Martínez and thus the 1-0 was already set.
But Genoa’s reaction came at the end of the first half when in the 45th minute, after an error by Lazovic, Ekuban equalized the duel.
It was in the 58th minute when Johan Vázquez entered the Verona area, they gave him a ball, with a man on top shot and on the rebound Gudmundsson scored the difference.
Still in the 72nd minute, Hellas put the ball in the net, but the VAR did not validate Swiderski’s goal.
With this result, Genoa placed 12th in Italian soccer with 38 points. While Hellas stayed with 27 points and is in 17th place in the competition.
