With home advantage, Roma entered the game proactively and soon created pressure on Genoa's half. In the 14th minute, Matias Soule opened the score for the home team after a precise finish in the penalty area. Just 5 minutes later, midfielder Kouadio Kone doubled the lead with a shot from the second line, putting Roma ahead 2-0.
In the 31st minute, the overwhelming game continued to be concretized by Roma with the 3rd goal. Evan Ferguson took good advantage of the opportunity in front of the goal to increase the score to 3-0, creating a great advantage for the Olimpico home team right in the first half.
In the second half, Genoa tried to push up the squad to find an equalizer. However, against Roma's tightly organized defense, the away team had many difficulties in approaching goalkeeper Mile Svilar's goal. It was not until the 87th minute that Genoa scored a goal to narrow the score thanks to Jeff Ekhator, after a messy ball in the penalty area.
Match statistics show that Roma is superior in possession time (61%), number of shots (16 compared to 10) as well as the number of shots on target. The home team's attack operated effectively, while Genoa only created a few clear chances in the second half.
The 3-1 victory helps Roma have 33 points after 17 rounds, temporarily ranked 4th in the Serie A standings, 3 points behind the leading team Inter. Meanwhile, Genoa continues to face difficulties when standing in 17th place, only slightly ahead of the relegation group.
