Kevin-Prince Boateng: First Fiorentina start ends in 2-1 defeat to Genoa

Kevin-Prince Boateng made his first Serie A start for Fiorentina as they lost 2-1 away to Genoa at the Luigi Ferraris on Sunday evening.

The Ghanaian forward made his debut for the Viola from the bench at home to Napoli last weekend, scoring his side’s third goal in the 4-3 defeat, and also received a yellow card.

He featured for 72 minutes this time in Genoa, but did not get his name on the scoresheet, and was replaced by ex-Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery.

Cristian Zapata gave the hosts the lead in the 11th minute, followed by Ivorian forward Christian Kouame in 65th minute.
