In a tightly contested match at Stadio Ennio Tardini, Genoa edged out Parma Calcio 1913 with a solitary goal. Genoa's victory was largely due to their superior attacking efficiency, despite their aggressive play, which is highlighted by their five yellow cards in the match. The visitors were able to capitalize on one of the seven shots they managed to get on target, with Andrea Pinamonti scoring the crucial goal early in the second half. In contrast, Parma failed to register a single shot on target, struggling to penetrate Genoa's defense effectively, despite taking 13 shots off target.

Parma's offensive shortage was further exemplified by their lack of offside situations, indicating a cautionary approach to breaking Genoa’s defense. Despite taking more shots, Parma's inability to threaten the Genoa goalkeeper with shots on target underscored a lack of sharpness in the final third. By contrast, Genoa, while having fewer total shots, showed greater accuracy and eventually found a way through Parma's defense, which proved decisive.

Defensively, Genoa's discipline was put to the test with the match's physicality, committing 18 fouls compared to Parma's five. This high foul count, accompanied by four yellow cards in the second half alone, indicates a high-octane defensive strategy to disrupt Parma's rhythm. Meanwhile, Parma maintained a more disciplined stance, yet this was not converted to offensive success, showcasing a need for a more clinical edge in front of goal. Despite winning fewer corners (3 compared to 7 for Genoa), Parma could not exploit these set-piece opportunities, underlining their overall struggle to impact the match's outcome significantly.
