Genoa beat Villarreal 3-1 and lost to Real Oviedo on penalties in their friendly tournament, while Francesco Camarda was not enough for Lecce against the UAE national team.
The pre-season friendlies continue and Genoa were in action for two mini-matches today as part of a three-way tournament in Oviedo.
Genoa victory and Lecce setback
They brushed Villarreal aside 3-1 in the first game, including a truly odd goal from Brooke Norton-Cuffy, who charged down a clearance that ricocheted into the net with the goalkeeper off his line.
Willy Kambwala scored the equaliser for Villarreal, but Vitinha and new signing Albert Gronbaek rounded out the scoreline.
