What happened. Genoa dominated possession and chances at Marassi but were repeatedly denied by Sudtirol goalkeeper Stefano Plizzari. With penalties looming, substitute Johan Vasquez headed in from a corner to send Daniele De Rossi's side into the last 16.

• Plizzari made several key saves, including stops from Wiafe and Amorim.
• Sudtirol's only notable effort was Anghele's shot over the bar.
• Vasquez scored his second goal in as many games, both from set pieces.

Genoa advance to the Coppa Italia last 16, where they will face Inter.
