A scary moment occurred in the 47th minute of the match between Venice and Genoa - Ukrainian midfielder Ruslan Malinovskyi, knocking the ball down, caught his right foot on the pitch and broke his ankle. The medics came and helped the Ukrainian onto a stretcher and carried him away.

Against this backdrop, the result of the match faded into the background. Venice managed to score twice in the last half an hour and take their first win of the season (2:0).

Note that 31-year-old Ruslan has a contract with Genoa until 2027. Most Italian sources already say that the season is over for Malinovskyi.
