The Grifone continued their impressive resurgence under new Coach Davide Ballardini, despite massive squad rotation at Marassi this evening.
Crotone goalkeeper Marco Festa was kept busy on a Federico Ricci header, while Crociata hit the side-netting on the counter for the Calabrese club.
The decisive moment came on 53 minutes, when a corner came out to Migliore for a stop and ferocious strike from the edge of the box.
Ricardo Centurion almost got his first goal in a Grifone jersey, but was denied by Festa’s flying fingertip save.
Simy kept the Genoa fans on their toes, his late header kept out by Eugenio Lamanna.
Genoa will take on Juventus in Turin on December 20.
Genoa 1-0 Crotone
