Palermo and Genoa shared the spoils in an entertaining affair at the Stadio Barbera, but Rossoblu defender Francesco Modesto was left to rue a missed chance to move into fourth place in the table.
“It’s a shame because I thought that we could have won against Palermo in the end,” Modesto told Sky Sport Italia.
“But it is still fine. It’s our first 0-0 draw of the campaign and we kept a clean sheet. All in all, it is a good result.
“We knew we would face a strong team and played an open game. Their goalkeeper made excellent saves, but [Alessio] Scarpi also made an incredible save from [Fabrizio] Miccoli.”
Genoa play bottom side Siena at Marassi next weekend but the Grifoni are back in action on Thursday when they host Lille in a crunch Europa League clash.
