A reporter was attacked by a Genoa fan before Saturday's game.

Telenord correspondent Pinuccio Brenzini was punched in the face by a noted member of the Genoa ultras before the game with Bologna.

The incident occurred outside the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, also known as Marassi, and he was given an ice pack by stadium staff.

Brenzini insisted on doing the usual commentary for the game, reports Il Secolo XIX.
