    Time:90'
    • Genoa
    • Udinese
    • 90+1' The full-time whistle goes at Luigi Ferraris, and Genoa have prevailed 3-0 courtesy of a brace from Robert Acquafresca, and a third goal from Rodrigo Palacio! Udinese are plunged further in trouble in Serie A. Thanks for joining us.
    • 90' Just one minute will be added at the end of this second half with Genoa closing out the match comfortably.
    • 89' Asamoah and Di Natale play a quick one-two in the Genoa half, but their break peters out poorly.
    • 87' Sanchez is battling hard for Udinese to win back possession, but Genoa are in cruise control now.
    • 85' Genoa break at pace through Sculli and Rossi, before Coda intervenes with an impeccably-timed challenge.
    • 83' Zapater clashes with Inler on halfway, and the final period of play is petering out pretty poorly.
    • 81' Mesto and Criscito exchange passes in midfield for Genoa as the hosts while away time with consummate ease.
    • 79' Di Natale is cutting a very frustrated figure in attack for Udinese as he runs a lone path up front with Floro Flores dropping off.
    • 77' Genoa keep possession steadily in their half, and there is no way that the hosts will lose their lead now.
    • 75' After getting to his feet gingerly, Di Natale drifts over the free-kick, but he overhits it over the bar tamely.
    • 73' Di Natale is floored by a robust challenge from Dainelli, and the forward wins a dangerous free-kick.
    • 71' Sculli goes down very easily out on the left, and the referee is very unimpressed and waves play on.
    • 69' Asamoah shows great strength in charging back to dispossess Zapater, and that was terrific perseverance.
    • 67' Genoa dictate all the play as 10-man Udinese struggle to stay in the contest, chasing shadows.
    • 65' Asamoah goes down clutching his ankle after he is clattered from behind by Bocchetti, who is promptly booked.
    • 63' Di Natale charges through on goal but cannot quite latch on to Inler's through ball. Two-goal Acquafresca is withdrawn as David Suazo is given a run out.
    • 61' Jankovic comes on for Genoa as this second half continues to be a scrappy affair, and the scorer of the third goal Palacio is the man to make way.
    • 59' Inler is replaced by Lodi for Udinese, who make their third and final change.
    • 67' Sanchez is replaced by Ferronetti for Udinese, who make another change in an attempt to change the course of this match.
    • 65' GOAL!!!! PALACIO MAKES IT THREE! The forward meets Sculli's cut back with a diving header to find the bottom corner of the net and give Genoa a three-goal cushion!
    • 63' Di Natale continues to be a nuisance for the Genoa back four, but he lacks the service to make a real impact.
    • 61' Moretti is replaced by Bocchetti for Genoa, who make their first change of the match.
    • 59' Floro Flores fires a low shot narrowly wide of Amelia's near post from a tight angle, and he really should have made the keeper work from close range!
    • 57' Zapata is shown the red card! Udinese's task is made a whole lot more difficult as the defender is given a second booking in quick succession for dissent, and Cuadrado is also booked for tugging down Palacio in full flight.
    • 55' Handanovic is swiftly off his line to collect a loose ball as Rossi slides a neat pass through to Sculli.
    • 53' GOAL!!!! Acquafresca sends Handanovic the wrong way with a very composed spot kick, and that was very well taken from the forward, who nets his second goal of the match!
    • 53' It's a penalty to Genoa! Coda is shown the yellow card, and he simply hauled down Acquafresca off the ball, and the forward will take the resulting spot kick!
    • 51' The tackles continue to fly in as the second half begins in pretty scrappy fashion.
    • 49' Sanchez and Inler combine in midfield, but there is no way through as Genoa defend stoutly.
    • 47' Asamoah surges down the right for Udinese and cuts inside, but Di Natale's shot flashes wide of Amelia's far post.
    • 46' The second half is underway at the Luigi Ferraris, and the onus is on Udinese to turn this match around. Pasquale is hauled off for Udinese with Pepe coming on in his place.
    • 45+1' The half-time whistle goes at Luigi Ferraris, and Genoa lead 1-0 courtesy of Acquafresca's strike on the half-hour!
    • 45' Just one minute will be added at the end of this first half with Udinese on the attack through Pasquale.
    • 43' Di Natale wastes the free kick, but Udinese continue to pile the pressure on their opponents, deep inside the Genoa half.
    • 41' Dainelli makes a cynical foul on Sanchez which infuriates the Udinese bench, but the visitors now have a dangerous free-kick to address.
    • 39' Zapater drives a low shot narrowly wide of Handanovic's far post, and that was a very fine effort.
    • 37' Rossi and Zapater exchange passes in midfield before Sculli shoots wide with a sharp effort.
    • 35' Acquafresca is providing a real presence in attack for Genoa, and he continues to cause Coda and Zapata problems.
    • 34' Both sides scrap for possession in midfield as the ball pings about loosely with neither able to seize control.
    • 32' Genoa are invigorated by that goal as Acquafresca almost gets in after Palacio's knock-down. Poor final ball though, beyond Criscito and out for a goal kick when he should have shot.
    • 30' The replay shows that Acquafresca was indeed half a yard off. No excuse for the terrible defending from Coda to mis-kick a simple clearance to let Sculli in.
    • 29' GOAL GENOA! Against the run of play Roberto Acquafresca knocks it past Handanovic after he kept out Sculli's low drive. Poor defending from Udinese to let Sculli turn and shoot initially, and was Acquafresca offside when the first shot went in?
    • 27' Di Natale will take this free-kick, a good 35 yards away. After much delay he puts in a poor delivery, straight down Amelia's throat.
    • 26' First booking of the match on Rossi for sliding into the back of Asamoah.
    • 25' Palacio is confused after conceding a free-kick. He thinks he was fouled but the referee went the other way.
    • 23' Moretti crosses from the left but Udinese clear. Still with Genoa though as Criscito - who is playing in midfield today - fires a low shot that Zapata blocks.
    • 22' Wasted from Genoa, the free-kick sails well over the bar.
    • 21' Lukovic gives away a free-kick to Genoa.
    • 20' Acquafresca pleads with the ref after his cut back comes off Cuadrado but a goal kick is awarded.
    • 19' Acquafresca could be in on the left but Zapata holds him off to put it out for a throw.
    • 18' Mesto goes to sleep and allows Asamoah to chest the ball back to Di Natale, but his shot from the edge of the box is a yard over.
    • 17' Inler with the interception as Genoa threatened to break free. It's the hosts who are sitting and playing on the counter so far.
    • 15' Di Natale with a wonderful first touch to kill Asamoah's long ball in the box but he's too far wide to finish and Amelia bats it away.
    • 14' A promising Genoa move ends in Criscito hammering it well over.
    • 13' Neat passing by Udinese again, knocking it around midfield looking anything but a team battling the drop.
    • 11' Genoa deal with that corner, keeper Amelia claiming.
    • 10' Di Natale gets down the left again, aiming a cross for Floro Flores but blocked behind for a corner.
    • 9' Sanchez with a foul on halfway. Udinese are having the better of the opening stages to this game, belying their league position just above the drop zone.
    • 8' Sanchez drills a low shot just wide of the far post after dodgy defending from Genoa!
    • 6' Floro Flores tries a half volley from very far out but it's a good few yards over.
    • 5' Acquafresca could be in on the right but he fires well wide.
    • 4' Good ball in from Sanchez on the right, over the head of Di Natale though and Pasquale slides in to meet the loose ball, taking out Dainelli in the process.
    • 3' Great play by Di Natale, weaving in and out of Mesto and Papastahopoulos - who I will call Papa from now on - but his cross is blocked.
    • 2' Long ball from the back is left by Cuadrado for Handanovic.
    • 1' The first half is underway!!
    • - Some exciting talents on display in Genoa then: for the hosts, Roberto Acquafresca and Rodrigo Palacio are entertaining forwards and Domenico Criscito a talented young defender. For the visitors, look out for Ghana starlet Kwadwe Asamoah, hailed as the new Michael Essien although he's more of a creative force.
