 Fiorentina get first win at Genoa in 30 years

ROME, Nov. 1 (Xinhua) -- Fiorentina chalked up their first win in thirty years at Genoa with a 1-0 win on Thursday.

Manuel Pasqual scored the only goal to award the visitors their first away win this season as they moved up to fifth in Serie A.

Pasqual's 14th-minute strike gave the visitors a lead they never surrendered in a fiery¹ clash that saw eight players booked.

Genoa's recent woes² show no sign of ending however, as they slumped³ to their third successive defeat.

Luigi Del Neri has failed to deliver a point since taking charge of Genoa 11 days ago and will be champing at the bit to have star striker Marco Borriello back.
