What does this performance mean?
The rating of 8.3 is higher than Bijlow’s average in the last two matches before this one, which was 7.7. This means his level against Juventus was above his usual standard in the recent period, albeit by a small margin. This is his second man of the match award in our records this season, indicating repeated strong presence in match ratings.
The most notable reading is that the top five ratings in the match were all Genoa players: Bijlow 8.3, Ostigard 8.2, Baldanzi 8.1, Vásquez 8, and Ehizibue 7.6. This consistency reflects the team’s dominance in the ratings, which is logical with the 2-0 win over a team looking to improve its position. As for Juventus, none of its players made the top five.
In terms of the result, the win raised Genoa’s points to 13 after 10 matches, having had 10 points from 9 matches before the game. The team is preparing to face Lecce away on Sunday 1 November. On the other hand, Juventus’s points froze at 14 from 10 matches, and they host Napoli on Sunday 1 November as well. The irony is that Juventus had scored 11 goals in 9 matches before this game, but they came away with a clean sheet against an opponent that had scored only 8 goals in previous rounds.
