Italy, Serie A, Inter – Genoa 5:2
Goran Pandev started on the bench for Inter before he came on at the start of the 2nd half replacing Dejan Stanković.  Inter was trailing 1:0 at halftime but with the introduction of Pandev, they started looking more dangerous and were able to score five goals in the 2nd half with Pandev playing a part in the second goal and then finally scoring a goal himself when he scored the fourth goal for Inter in the 71st minute.  In the 51st minute, Pandev took a left footed shot from the right which was saved by the Genoa keeper but Samuel Eto’o scored on the rebound to give Inter a 2:1 lead as Giampaolo Pazzini scored the equalizing goal just a minute earlier.  Pandev then had a chance to score in the 68th minute when he dispossessed the ball from a Genoa defender but his shot was saved nicely by the opposing keeper and it went for a corner.  Pandev’s goal finally came in the 71st minute when Wesley Sneijder showed unselfishness and made a pass to Pandev who scored an easy goal from close range with an open goal in front of him.
