Rigoni happy with Genoa debut

Milan’s Mario Balotelli was not the only January signing who earned his new club three points with an injury time goal at the weekend – Marco Rigoni did the same for Genoa.

Milan’s Mario Balotelli was not the only January signing who earned his new club three points with an injury time goal at the weekend – Marco Rigoni did the same for Genoa.

The midfielder, who joined Chievo from Novara in the summer, completed a move to Marassi last week and netted in the 3-2 win over Lazio on Sunday.

“I couldn’t ask for more from my debut,” the Italian told Pianeta Genoa 1893. “I was just hoping for a win because that was crucial. But I managed to score too.”

Yesterday’s victory was only the Rossoblu’s fifth of the season in the League, but it was enough for them to jump out of the relegation zone.
