Incredible game at Marassi that saw three Macedonians on the field for at least couple of minutes.

That lead, for 4:3, was thanks to the other two Macedonians.

In the 90th minute Nestorovski assisted to Trajkovski who scored the winner. In the injury time Nestorovski wanted to lose time by preventing home keeper Mattia Perin to kick the ball which lead to Perin pushing him and getting a direct red card, while Nestorovski was awarded a yellow for obstruction of play. Some livescore sites have Nestorovski as assistant to the first goal for his team, but it isn’t true as although he passed the ball to the scorer, he then made a great solo run before scoring. This was the first home defeat for Genoa who at this venue defeated even Juventus and Milan.
