Genoa CFC secured its first point of the Serie A season following a 1-1 draw against Frosinone at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris. The match was delayed by eight minutes due to technical communication issues between the refereeing crew and the VAR room. Frosinone took an early lead in the 14th minute when Giorgi Kvernadze capitalized on a defensive error by Marcandalli, following an assist from Schmid. Genoa missed significant opportunities to take the lead early in the match, including a disallowed goal by Baldanzi for offside and a missed penalty by Lorenzo Colombo, who fired wide following a VAR review that confirmed a handball by Cittadini. This match marked the first penalty and the first VAR review of the 2026/27 Serie A season. Captain Vasquez leveled the score in the 50th minute, scoring with a header from a Sow corner. However, Genoa’s efforts to secure a victory were hampered late in the game when Vasquez received a second yellow card in the 87th minute for a foul on Fini, leaving the team to finish the match with ten men. Despite the numerical disadvantage and late pressure from Frosinone, Genoa held on for the draw. Following the result, Genoa manager Daniele De Rossi expressed mixed emotions, stating that while the team earned its first point, they “had hoped for a better result” due to missed opportunities and the late expulsion. ~~He also defended his team’s identity and effort despite the missed opportunity to win.~~ Frosinone manager Massimiliano Alvini noted that his side maintained a strong start to the season, moving to 7 points in the standings.
