Fan Violence Overshadows Inter’s Serie A Win At Genoa

Pre-match clashes and police intervention

Local reports confirmed that at least three cars were burned, alongside a van and a scooter, while multiple rubbish bins were also set on fire.

Two people were injured during the unrest, though no further details on their condition were disclosed.

Match goes ahead as scheduled

Despite the disturbances, authorities did not delay the fixture, and the match kicked off as planned.

Inter struck early through Yann Aurel Bisseck, who opened the scoring inside six minutes.

Inter reclaim top spot

Lautaro Martínez doubled the visitors’ advantage before half-time, with Genoa pulling one back after the break through Vitinha.

Inter held on for the win, returning to the top of Serie A, one point clear after 15 matches, while Genoa remain 16th, just two points above the relegation zone.

No direct rivalry between clubs

The violence was striking given the lack of a traditional rivalry between the two sides. Genoa’s fiercest rivals are Sampdoria, while Inter’s main derbies are against AC Milan and Juventus.
