Genoa 3-2 Inter: Kucka strikes blow to visitors' Europa quest

May 23, 2015 5:04:40 PM

Inter twice let the lead slip as their hopes of playing European football next season were dented in an entertaining 3-2 loss at Genoa.

Juraj Kucka headed home a dramatic late winner as Inter's hopes of qualifying for the UEFA Europa League were dealt a potentially fatal blow in an enthralling 3-2 Serie A loss at Genoa on Saturday.

Earlier this week it was confirmed that Genoa — which started the game in sixth — would not be granted a UEFA license to play in Europe next season, meaning that even if the club maintains its current standing, the team finishing seventh will play in Europe's secondary competition.
