Serie A | Parma 0-1 Genoa – Balotelli makes Grifone debut

Genoa had been the vastly superior team in the attacking third, registering seven shots on target to Parma’s zero. 

There was also a debut in Genoa colours for Balotelli. The former Italy international joined the Grifone as a free agent exactly one week ago, but was not involved for the 1-0 loss against Fiorentina on Thursday. He came on in the 85th minute as a replacement for Ekhator. 

The victory for Genoa has lifted them out of the Serie A relegation zone and up to 17th place, where they sit above Monza, Venezia and Lecce on nine points from 11 games. 

Parma remain in 15th place, on the same number of points as Genoa, albeit with -3 on goal difference compared to Genoa’s -13.
