جنوة وفيتشنزا تتبادلان الغنائم في مباراة ودية صيفية

Genoa and L.R. Vicenza served up an entertaining friendly on a warm July afternoon, with both teams using the fixture to build fitness and sharpness ahead of the new season. The match had a competitive edge despite its non-competitive status, with neither side willing to surrender possession cheaply. The Rossoblù made the brighter start and looked to impose themselves in the opening stages.

Amorim broke the deadlock just before half-time with a well-taken finish to give Genoa the advantage going into the interval. The home side's early dominance appeared to be paying dividends, and they looked capable of extending their lead after the restart. That hope evaporated quickly, however. L.R. Vicenza emerged with renewed purpose and struck an equaliser just two minutes after the restart, levelling the match at 1-1 and giving themselves genuine belief.

Genoa responded to the setback by reasserting control, and they regained their lead through Lorenzo Colombo from the penalty spot in the 58th minute. A second Genoa goal seemed to have shifted momentum decisively in the hosts' favour. Yet Vicenza refused to wilt. The visitors got back on level terms once again with a goal in the 60th minute, leaving both teams searching for a winner in an increasingly open contest.

The remainder of the match saw both sides create chances but neither could find a breakthrough, and the game finished level at 2-2. It was a result that left both managers with plenty to assess during the international break. Genoa showed defensive fragility at times, while Vicenza demonstrated resilience despite playing away from home. Both teams will view this as a useful exercise as they fine-tune their preparations for the challenges ahead.
