Three key points for Genoa in Serie A Round 17 as Davide Ballardini’s Rossoblu beat Bologna 2-0 on Saturday to temporarily move to the 17th place in the table – two points ahead of the relegation zone.
The Grifone took the three points on offer thanks to Miha Zajc and ex-Bologna player Mattia Destro – it was the 6th seasonal goal for him. Bologna, on the other hand, failed to win for the 8th time in a row, having collected five draws and three losses out of their last outings.
