Jackson Tchatchoua and Casper Tengstedt were on target as Hellas Verona surprised Genoa with a first defeat of the campaign, as they paid for wasteful finishing and had some red card appeals against the clinical visitors.
Genoa were unlucky not to take the lead on 28 minutes with a wonderful move, as Johan Vasquez started it, combined with Stefano Sabelli and went to finish off the outside of the left boot, thumping the crossbar.
The first segment ended without an goal but in the second segment Hellas Verona were in control.
Verona took the lead against the run of play, as Gollini flapped at a Darko Lazovic cross from the left and allowed Jackson Tchatchoua to come sliding in at the back post.
Hellas then won a penalty after Morten Thorsby charged down the Pawel Dawidowicz pull-back with his hand, albeit from point-blank range. Casper Tengtstedt converted into the roof of the net for his first Serie A goal.
The game ended on the 2-0 score though Genoa had chances to impact the result even after conceding.
Jackson’s goal will help his confidence before his trip to Cameroon to begin the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers with matches against Namibia and Zimbabwe in perspective on September 7 and 10 respectively.
