Genoa coach Thiago Motta was delighted with a debut victory over Brescia.
Genoa won 3-1 on the day.
I feel good, as the players did really well from the first to the last minute. What I asked before the game was that they remained a team even during difficult moments, they did it and I am happy for them," he told DAZN.
Victory was a Serie A record, as never before had one team seen all three substitutes find the back of the net.
It's nice to see this team write its place in history, but I want to praise everyone, even those who stayed on the bench. We showed enormous heart and stayed united throughout every bump in the road, so that is what I am happiest with.
We didn't do what we could've done in the first half, as Brescia played well, but even if we didn't control the game during the first 45 minutes, we hung in there.
At half-time, we tried to push the lines further forward and scored these three important goals for Genoa."
