During the early minutes of the second half, Genoa even threatened Andrea Consigli’s goal, but the goalkeeper made some good saves to avoid what could have been a lifeline for the visitors. Meanwhile, the hosts kept doing their game and were able to increase their scoring. At the 66th minute, Caputo received in the edge of the box and hit into the far corner to make the 3-0.

Before the end of the match, there were two goals in 3 minutes. At the 74th minute, Berardi stole the ball on the defensive field and picked Raspadori out on the right. The number 18 won a foot race against his marker and sent a strong shot into the left corner. Then, 3 minutes later, Caputo scored his second of the day, killing off the game.
