    • 90'+3 Genoa are playing keep ball...Juve bang the ball deep in the Genoa half...but it's a freekick for the hosts. They're almost there.
    • 90'+2 The ball is deep in the Juve half. Just where the Rossoblu want it!
    • 90' We're in the last minute of normal time. Genoa's fans are baying for the whistle but there's four minutes of stoppage time yet!
    • 87' GOAL GENOA!! Would you believe it? Rossi beats the offside trap..It looks close, but he's free and squares the ball for Palladino for an easy finish!! 3-2 Genoa!!
    • 86' Palladino tries his luck from way out. It's a comfortable save for Buffon.

    • 41' They win a corner...Genoa break...but the ref blows up as Mesto is covered with blood.

    From walshey, on Sat 11 Apr 8:59PM

  13. lol at Olof Mellberg !!!

    From Renan, on Sat 11 Apr 8:40PM

  14. The one writing the live comments on this game, don’t­ have a clue on what is going on. First of all he wrote­ Jankovic scored the first goal for Genoa, okay honest­ mistake, he corrected himself after. But then he writes­ that Olof Mellberg wins a corner for Genoa which then­ results in a second Motta goal. Mellberg plays for­ Juventus and Is on the bench. A piece of advice to the­ one commenting the game, keep your eyes on the game.

    From knielsden, on Sat 11 Apr 8:40PM

  15. comeon genoa win great motta!!!!
