The Griffins secured the result before the break and spent almost the entire second half in the majority
Genoa confidently coped with the Udinese in the 26th round match Italian Championship – 2:0.
The hosts secured the result at the end of the first half. Retegui opened the scoring beautifully: the Udinese defender, trying to intercept the cross, lit a “candle”, and the Orundi forward formed and hit the goal with an overhead kick.
Soon the second goal happened. After a set piece, Arnor Gudmundsson crossed, and Mattia Bani headed the ball into the near corner.
Immediately after the break, the Griffins gained a numerical advantage – Thomas Christensen received a second yellow.
In the remaining time, Genoa confidently held the game. Gudmundsson had several chances to bring the matter to defeat, but Udinese, to its credit, managed to carry out several good attacks.
Ukrainian Ruslan Malinovsky did not start for the second match in a row. He came on as a substitute in the 78th minute. He was moderately active, once an opponent blocked an attempt to hit him. This season, the midfielder has played 25 matches for Genoa in all competitions, in which he scored three goals and made two assists.
Having scored three points, Genoa settled into 12th position. Udinese are 16th, just three points clear of the relegation zone.
