With the ultimate goal of qualifying for one of the competitions organized by UEFA,
Genoa
beat
Udinese
2-0 in their stadium , which has its own fight in the background to avoid falling into marginal positions and retain its place in the Italy Series.
In a match that, a priori, did not deliver anything superlative, it was
Mateo Retegui
who was in charge of doing something outside of what was expected.
The game was about to reach 35 minutes without goals and in an attack from the left, the local team had an unbalanced play.
The Spaniard
Aarón Martín
overflowed his lane and took the center into the pot so that a teammate could connect the delivery.
However, the center did not have the necessary height and halfway through the Argentine
Lautaro Gianetti
tried to cut off the delivery, but he did nothing other than leave it to his compatriot Retegui.
The ball improved in height and Retegui corrected his run, settled in and hit the overhead kick ball.
The ball went in overshot, crossed, without goalkeeper
Maduka Okoye
being able to prevent it.
MATEO RETEGUI FROM CHILENA!!
TOTAL MADNESS!
The scorer appeared in Italy for the 1-0 partial of Genoa vs.
Udinese in #SerieA.
