Genoa got off to the perfect start at Luigi Ferraris on Saturday, 10 October 2026, building a 2-0 cushion by half-time against a Fiorentina side that simply couldn't get going in the first 45 minutes. Whatever was said in the away dressing room worked to some extent, because Fiorentina came out with more purpose after the break and pulled one back to make things uncomfortable for the hosts. It wasn't enough in the end, though, as Genoa held firm to close out the game 2-1. The win lifts Genoa's spirits going into the next round of fixtures and gives their home crowd plenty to shout about after a slow start to the game turned into a hard-fought victory. For Fiorentina, there's some encouragement in the second-half response, but conceding twice before the interval is the kind of habit that will worry anyone watching from the stands. Points dropped away from home like this could sting later in the season.
