Joao Mario again created the goal with a superb solo run into the box and his square pass found Brozovic, who took one touch and finished confidently from 12 yards. Genoa ran out of steam after that strike as they failed to repeat famous wins over AC Milan and Juventus from earlier in the campaign, the loss extending their winless away run to five games.</blockquote>
