Genoa 1 - 0 Fiorentina: Darko Lazovic goal sees Genoa halt Fiorentina's winning run
Posted Friday, December 16, 2016 by PA
Darko Lazovic's first goal of the season helped Genoa extend their unbeaten home run in Serie A to seven matches with a 1-0 victory against Fiorentina.
Serbia international Lazovic struck from inside the area before the break to secure Genoa's second win in seven league matches and halt Fiorentina's three-game winning run.
Genoa's Luca Rigoni, in the first minute, and fellow midfielder Diego Laxalt, whose header hit the crossbar, both went close for the hosts before Lazovic lashed home Nicola Ninkovic's cross in the 37th minute.
Fiorentina went close to equalising when Mauro Zarate's second-half shot from outside the area rebounded off the crossbar and Matias Vecino fired just wide from only yards out.
But Genoa threatened to double their lead in the closing stages through Miguel Veloso and Olivier Ntcham.
