Genoa beat Villarreal 3-1 and lost to Real Oviedo on penalties in their friendly tournament, while Francesco Camarda was not enough for Lecce against the UAE national team.

Genoa victory and Lecce setback

Genoa sign Brooke Norton-Cuffy from Arsenal

They brushed Villarreal aside 3-1 in the first game, including a truly odd goal from Brooke Norton-Cuffy, who charged down a clearance that ricocheted into the net with the goalkeeper off his line.

Willy Kambwala scored the equaliser for Villarreal, but Vitinha and new signing Albert Gronbaek rounded out the scoreline.

The Grifone played the second mini-game as a 0-0 draw with hosts Real Oviedo, losing on penalties.

Lecce suffered a 3-1 defeat to the United Arab Emirates national team in their pre-season training camp.

Official: Francesco Camarda joins Lecce on loan with an option to buy, and with a buy-back clause in favour of AC Milan.

Teenage centre-forward Camarda continues to impress during his loan from Milan, converting a penalty, but Kialonda Gaspar’s foul allowed Alghassani to score from the spot.

Lucas Caio turned in for 2-0 and in the second half Bruno De Oliveira completed the 3-1 result.
