Scores own goal in loss Sabelli created one chance, made three tackles, two clearances and one interceptions but scored an own goal during Sunday's 2-1 loss against Torino.

Impact Sabelli was having a solid although unimpressive game, helping his side to hold the opposition scoreless for an hour but then, in the 63rd minute, the defender was very unfortunate when he saw the ball going into his own net after hitting his leg while he was trying to prevent an opponent to pick up a cross at the far post. The fact that his peripheral numbers weren't exactly the ones from a high-end defender just hurt his fantasy output even more. However, the versatility and the veteran leadership will also help Sabelli finding a place in Genoa's lineup.
