Quotes
"It was a difficult match for us but I think also for Toro. We tried to play and create a few more chances but we created little," Genoa manager Patrick Vieira said after his side's draw with Torino.
"On the other side I saw a team with character and personality. There are positive aspects: defensively, as a team, we are more solid than before and so we move forward. It was very difficult on a physical level.
"We lacked a bit of support for Pinamonti because he was a bit isolated. But Toro is a very difficult team to face. I'm happy with what we showed and took a point. This match tells us that there is a lot to improve."
Head-to-Head
Milan and Genoa played to a 3-3 draw in their last meeting in Serie A which was played on 5 May at San Siro.
Therefore, Rossoneri are undefeated in their last six league matches against the Old Fool having registered four wins and two draws.
