Ghanaian forward Kelvin Yeboah stars as Genoa beat Juventus in Serie A

Published on: 09 May 2022

Ghanaian forward Kelvin Yeboah shined for Genoa as they came from behind to beat Juventus 2-1  in the Serie A on Friday.

Genoa all but ended The Old Lady chances of winning the Serie A title this season.

Yeboah won a last minute penalty for the home side which was converted by Domenico Criscito in the 96th minute of the game.

After a goalless first half, Argentine international Paulo Dybala scored a finely placed strike from the edge of the area to open the scoring for Juventus early in the second half.

But winger Albert Gudmundsson revived Genoa's hopes of remaining in the top flight when he sent Nadiem Amiri's pass inside the right post three minutes before the end of regular time.

Mattia De Sciglio fouled Yeboah for a penalty in the fifth minute of stoppage time.

Having missed a crucial last-minute spot kick against Sampdoria a week earlier in Genoa's Derby della Lanterna defeat, Criscito found himself in the very same position. This time, though, the Grifone captain scored.

Yeboah has made 15 league appearances for Genoa this season and provide two assists in the process.
