The Ukrainian started the game on the bench and entered the field in the 55th minute when his team was trailing 0:2. Already after 7 minutes, Malinovsky reduced the gap – the midfielder expertly executed a free kick, which the visitors’ goalkeeper Rafal was unable to save.

For Ruslan, this is the third goal in 20 Serie A matches this season, as well as three assists. Earlier, Malinovsky broke Andriy Shevchenko’s record for the number of assists among Ukrainians in Serie A.
The Ukrainian’s goal allowed Genoa to reduce the deficit to 1:2, and this goal is already being called one of the brightest in the tour due to its accuracy and power.
Genoa is currently in 16th place in the Serie A standings. Daniele De Rossi’s team will play their next match against Lazio on January 30.
