As part of the 1/16 finals of the Italian Cup, Genoa hosted Sampdoria.

“Gryphons” took the lead in the 9th minute thanks to a goal by Andrea Pinamonti, who supported the injured Ukrainian Ruslan Malinovsky with a beautiful gesture.

Genoa managed to keep the winning score until the 83rd minute, until Borini returned parity on the scoreboard with his goal.

At the end of the match, Sampdoria remained in the minority due to the withdrawal of Simone Romagnoli, but the Griffins did not have enough time to realize their numerical advantage, and the fate of this confrontation was determined by the post-match penalty shootout, in which the guests were more fortunate and won a ticket to the next round.
