Junior Messias - Assist from bench Messias assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 win against Sassuolo.

Impact Messias appeared for a mere 15 minutes Sunday but made a huge difference in the match, as the attacker would find Caleb Ekuban in the 84th minute for a goal to win the game. This comes after four straight starts, also earning a goal during that period, for two goal contributions in his past five appearances. That said, he now has four goal contributions in 17 appearances (five starts).

Tommaso Baldanzi - Assist Sunday Baldanzi assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal) and three chances created in Sunday's 2-1 win against Sassuolo.

Impact Baldanzi would find himself in a starting role Sunday after three straight games in a bench role, with the attacker playing 55 minutes. He would do well with the time and earn an assist, finding Ruslan Malinovskyi in the 18th minute. This gives him his first goal contribution with Genoa this season, only having one in his 10-game stint with Roma to begin the season.

Caleb Ekuban - Scores game winner Ekuban scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Sassuolo.

Impact Ekuban would appear off the bench with 35 minutes to play and end up being the hero of Sunday's outing, as the attacker found the back of the net in the 84th minute for the game winner. He is now up to four goals on the season, also adding one assist. He still has yet to register 1,000 minutes of play this season, as he has only started in six of his 27 appearances, appearing to be a decent shout when given a bit of time on the field.

Impact Mailinovskyi has an eventful start to Sunday's match, earning a yellow card in the fifth minute before netting the opening goal in the 18th minute. This ends a decent absence without a goal for the midfielder, as his last came Feb. 7, seven games ago. He now sits at six goals and three assists, close to hitting double digits.

Justin Bijlow - Allows one against Sassuolo Bijlow made five saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Sassuolo.

Impact Bijlow stepped into net with a solid outing, as the goalie recorded five saves despite allowing a goal, still winning the match for his club. However, he does remain three games removed from his last clean sheet, hoping to see another soon. He remains at only three clean sheets in 11 appearances this season, set to face Pisa next time out.

Kristian Thorstvedt - Quiet outing Thorstvedt registered one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 loss versus Genoa.

Impact Thorstvedt didn't see his best match Sunday as his team failed to win, as the midfielder recorded one shot, but not much else. With that said, he still holds a regular starting role with 21 starts this season and is chasing down his 2023/24 goal contribution tally, one shy of that mark now.
