Genoa vs. Siena

It took 70 seconds for Hernan Crespo to open the scoring. Rodrigo Palacio nodded a Giandomenico Mesto cross on to the base of the far upright and Crespo was quickest to pounce on the loose ball.

Moments later Crespo just failed to connect with a Mesto cross that had gone past the goalkeeper. Abdel Ghezzal nearly made the most of some shaky footwork from Genoa shot-stopper Alessio Scarpi.

Crespo doubled his tally with another real poacher's goal. Gianluca Curci horribly fumbled a Palacio snapshot and it was child's play to tap in the rebound.

Siena were more involved in the second half as they got a consolation goal when Michele Paolucci ran into the area down the left and placed a low angled drive beneath Scarpi's body.

Siena made it a tense finale at Marassi, as a set play bounced out to Massimo Maccarone's fierce volley for 3-2.

However, Sergio Floccari ended those hopes of an epic comeback by scoring at the final minute. Siena were furious, as they felt he was offside when he gathered an Omar Milanetto through ball in the D and curled it in at the near post.
