Ghanaian forward Caleb Ekuban delivered a decisive moment of brilliance to power Genoa CFC to a hard-fought 2-1 triumph against US Sassuolo at the iconic Stadio Luigi Ferraris.
Entering the fray in the 55th minute, Ekuban wasted little time in asserting himself. With the match finely balanced, the striker rose to the occasion in the 84th minute, applying a composed finish to a cleverly crafted move orchestrated by Junior Messias.
His late intervention completed a spirited turnaround and ignited jubilant scenes among the home faithful.
Earlier in the contest, Genoa had stamped their authority with an energetic start, drawing first blood through Ruslan Malinovskyi. The midfielder polished off a fluid attacking sequence after being teed up by Tommaso Baldanzi, setting the tone for an engaging encounter.

Ekuban’s latest contribution adds to a steady campaign, taking his tally to four goals and one assist in 27 outings this season. Since arriving at the club in the 2021/22 campaign, the Ghanaian has accumulated 13 goals and nine assists across 124 appearances, underlining his value as a reliable attacking option.
Having last represented Ghana in 2021, the forward will be eager to force his way back into the national setup as the Black Stars prepare for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with performances like this strengthening his case for a recall.
