First double in A for Miretti: Genoa beats Lecce by a narrow margin
Genoa-Lecce 2-1
Genoa began with a success over Lecce, with the result of 2-1, the twenty-ninth day of the Serie A championship. At the ‘Ferraris’, under abundant rain, the Rossoblù thus conquer three points probably decisive for salvation, distancing by ten lengths precisely the Giallorossi, one of the direct competitors in the less noble zone of the standings.
The cover man of the evening è Fabio Miretti: the offensive midfielder owned by Juventus in fact signed his first double in A, two goals that proved decisive for the Grifone’s success. The first goal came on 16′, with a spectacular turn that caught Falcone by surprise, who could do nothing to prevent the ball from going into the net.
The second goal came instead at the twilight of the first half, moreù precisely during the second minute of recovery time: Miretti received the ball from Malinovskiy, skipped nimbly over Guilbert and finished on net, again beating the Giallorossi extreme defender for the 2-0 goal that made the home fans go crazy with joy.
In the second half, Genoa lowered its pace but Lecce struggled to take advantage. It’s forò an episode that reopens the match: Matturro touches the ball in the area with his hand at 64′, referee Maresca first signals to continue, then verifies first with the help of the VAR Room and then in person via on-field review, granting the penalty. To convert it è Krstovic, when the clock marks 68′.
There would be plenty of time to recover, but apart from a Karlsson conclusion on which Leali had to stretch to avoid trouble, Lecce did not sting further. Genoa wins and rises to 35 points, the Salentini remain at 25 and have to watch their backs, as Parma has 24 points and Empoli 22, and both have yet to take the field this round.

Matteo Gigante, world number 164, didn’t make it against the emerging Czech Jakub Mensik, number 21, who in the second round of the men’s singles at the Internazionali d’Italia beat him with a score of 7-6 7-5 in just over an ira and 40 minutes of play.
Two evenly matched sets in which there was only one break, the one on 5-5 in the second set in favor of Mensik, and only two other break points, saved by Gigante, who on 3-3 also in the second set had found himself down 15-40.
The situation was repeated four games later and this time Gigante had to surrender at the second opportunity for Mensik, who won the first set tie-break 7-4 by stringing five consecutive points from 4-2 in favor of the 23-year-old Roman.
