# Genoa Clings to Late Equalizer for Crucial Point Against Inter
In a thrilling encounter, Genoa managed to secure a vital 2-2 draw against Inter Milan in their Serie A clash, earning a point that could be pivotal in their fight to avoid relegation. The match, held at the San Siro Stadium, was a tense affair, filled with drama and twists.
The first half was relatively uneventful, with both teams struggling to break each other down. However, the second half exploded into life. Genoa took the lead in the 58th minute when captain Mattia D’Agostino converted a penalty after he was fouled in the box by Inter’s Danilo. The goal gave the rossoblù a much-needed boost, and they looked determined to hold on to their lead.
But Inter, who were dominant possession-wise, refused to back down. Their persistence paid off in the 82nd minute when Inter’s striker Edin Džemo skipped through Genoa’s defense and slotted the ball past the diving goalkeeper. The goal brought Inter level and sent the away fans into a frenzy.
Genoa, though, had one last push. In the 89th minute, substitute Andrea Murić, who had been introduced earlier, fired a low shot past Inter’s goalkeeper from outside the box. The equalizer was a massive relief for the Genoa players and fans, who had been holding their breath in anticipation.
The final moments were nail-biting as both teams pushed for a winner, but neither could find a breakthrough. The result, a 2-2 draw, means Genoa has now collected three points in their last two matches, providing a much-needed boost in their battle against relegation.
For Inter, the draw means they drop one spot in the league standings but remain firmly in contention for a top-four finish. The result, however, will leave Inter’s manager Simone Inzaghi frustrated, as his side failed to capitalize on their dominance in possession.
Genoa’s fighting spirit was evident throughout the match, and this point will give them confidence as they prepare for their next fixture. Meanwhile, Inter will need to regroup quickly and focus on their upcoming games, including a crucial encounter against Juventus.
This match was a reminder of the unpredictable nature of Serie A, where every point can be a matter of life or death for the teams involved. For Genoa, this draw is a small step in their quest to avoid dropping into the lower tier, while Inter’s challenge for a Champions League spot continues.
In the end, both teams can take pride in their performances, but Genoa will be the ones heading into their next game with a much-needed boost in confidence.
