ROME (AP) – Substitutes Vicinha and Leo Ostigardo scored for Genoa’s 2-0 win over Italian league bottom Verona on Sunday as Daniele De Rossi’s side moved further away from the relegation zone.
After 29 matches, Genoa are in 13th place with 33 points, nine points ahead of 18th place Cremonese.
Serie A leaders Inter Milan lost 1-1 at home to Atalanta on Saturday, leaving AC Milan with the possibility of closing the gap further on their rivals. AC Milan, eight points behind Inter, faced Lazio later on Sunday.
Vicinha came on for Caleb Ekban and scored just after the hour mark with a powerful shot from long range. Ostigard made it 2-0 with a header from a free kick in the 86th minute.
Win with 10 people
Rafiu Durosinmi kicks defender Yerry Mina, and after the 37th minute they are down to 10 men, giving 19th place Pisa their second league win of the season.
Antonio Caracciolo scored twice in the 3-1 win over Cagliari, but Adam Oberto was sent off for his second yellow card and the match ended with 10 men.
Bologna goalkeeper injured
Bologna defeated Sassuolo 1-0 with an early goal from Theis Dalinga.
However, Bologna lost several players to injury ahead of their Europa League Round of 16 second leg against Roma on Thursday, resulting in a 1-1 draw in the first leg. Goalkeeper Łukasz Skorupski was injured in an aerial attack but was forced to play as coach Vincenzo Italiano had already used up all his substitutes.
Nicola Moro and Lorenzo De Silvestri were also injured on Sunday.
