Turin, 8 March (LaPresse) – Genoa secured a crucial victory in their battle for survival, beating Roma 2-1 at Marassi in their Serie A matchday 28 fixture to move up to 30 points, six clear of the relegation zone. For the Giallorossi, it is an unexpected setback that complicates their pursuit of fourth place. Gasperini's team remains on 51 points, joined by Como and with Juventus just one point behind. It all happened in the second half. Messias broke the deadlock in the 7th minute with a penalty for a foul by Pellegrini on Ellertsson, immediately followed by Ndicka's equaliser with a precise lob. In the final minutes, in the 36th minute, Vitinha's strike from Masini's low cross secured the winning goal.
