Genoa conquered the Carlo Castellani Computer Gross Arena in Empoli thanks to goals from Badelj and Ekuban that give three important points to Vieira's team. Esposito pulled one back but it wasn't enough for the home side, with the Tuscan striker missing the penalty that could have provided the equaliser.
