The striker started upfront for his Italian club today when they hosted Salernitana at the Round 32 stage of this season’s domestic cup competition.
In a game that saw both teams putting in a lot of effort in the first half, neither side managed to score and went into the break on level pegging.
After recess, Genoa took control of the game as more players pressed forward in search of a goal.
Eventually, with 14 minutes to go, Caleb Ekuban powered home a powerful header from close range after jumping highest to meet a cross from youngster Yayah Kallon.
