Genoa secured a commanding 3-0 victory over Torino at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, with Brooke Norton-Cuffy, Caleb Ekuban, and Junior Messias finding the net. Torino’s challenge became insurmountable after Emirhan Ilkhan’s red card just before halftime.

The eagerly anticipated Serie A clash on February 22, 2026, saw two mid-table teams vying for crucial points. Genoa, sitting 15th with 24 points, aimed to break their recent inconsistent form. Torino, one spot above them in 14th with 27 points, also sought to improve their recent run of results.

Genoa started brightly, showing early intent to dominate possession and create chances. Their efforts paid off in the 21st minute when Brooke Norton-Cuffy opened the scoring. The young full-back surged forward and delivered a precise finish, igniting the home crowd.

Torino struggled to gain a foothold in the match, facing persistent pressure from the hosts. Genoa continued to push for a second goal, exploiting spaces in Torino’s defence.

Just five minutes before the break, Genoa doubled their advantage. Caleb Ekuban expertly guided the ball home in the 40th minute, further solidifying Genoa’s lead. This goal left Torino with a significant challenge to overcome.

The visitors’ task grew even harder in first-half stoppage time. Goran Simeone received a yellow card for holding in the 45+1st minute. Moments later, Emirhan Ilkhan was shown a straight red card for tripping, leaving Torino with ten men heading into halftime.

Torino faced an uphill battle at the restart, trailing by two goals and down to ten men. Manager Ivan Juric made two immediate substitutions, bringing on Guillermo Maripan and Erik Ebosse to shore up his depleted side.

Despite the numerical disadvantage, Torino attempted to regroup and limit Genoa’s attacks. However, Genoa capitalized on their extra man, controlling the midfield and dictating the tempo of the game.

Genoa’s coach made tactical adjustments around the 65-minute mark, introducing fresh legs to maintain their dominance. Junior Messias, a substitute, made an immediate impact on the proceedings.

Messias sealed Genoa’s comprehensive victory with a goal in the 83rd minute. He found the net with a composed finish, putting the result beyond any doubt and sending the home supporters into raptures.

The statistics reflected Genoa’s commanding performance. They registered 16 total shots, with 5 on target, and boasted 62% possession. Their expected goals (xG) stood at 1.8, demonstrating their attacking threat. Torino, in contrast, managed only 7 shots, 3 on target, with an xG of 0.57.

This decisive 3-0 win provides a significant boost for Genoa, allowing them to climb the Serie A table. Torino, meanwhile, will need to address their disciplinary issues and find form quickly to avoid falling further behind.
