Sassuolo's attack was led by Lauriente and Pinamonti, but their efforts were consistently thwarted by Genoa's goalkeeper Leali, who made crucial saves, or they lacked the precision needed to find the back of the net.

The tide of the game shifted after halftime, with Fabio Grosso's team coming out aggressively and finding the equalizer just two minutes in. Domenico Berardi scored the crucial goal, tapping home from close range after a Laurienté corner caused chaos in the Genoa box. The equalizer sparked a renewed sense of urgency in Sassuolo, with Kristian Thorstvedt hitting the woodwork twice and Alieu Fadera injecting fresh energy off the bench.

Genoa staged a remarkable comeback as the match progressed. Messias and Ekuban created scoring opportunities for the visitors before they finally found the breakthrough in stoppage time. A late cross into the box was met by Østigård, who rose above the defenders to head the ball past Arijanet Muric, sparking jubilation among the traveling fans.

The late winner marked a satisfying response from Genoa after a patchy run of results, showcasing the team's resilience and ability to capitalize on opportunities. Sassuolo, on the other hand, were left frustrated after dominating large portions of the second half without converting their chances into goals. Meanwhile, Genoa's coaching drama continued to unfold off the pitch.
