Former Ghana international Caleb Ekuban came off the bench to secure a crucial away point for Genoa against Como in the Italian Serie A on Monday evening.
Ekuban opened his season's goal-scoring account deep in stoppage time to salvage a point for Genoa in a 1-1 draw at the Stadio G. Sinigaglia.
Argentina forward Nico Paz opened the scoring for the home side in the 13th minute after connecting with a pass from his former Real Madrid teammate, Alvaro Morata.
Como dominated the first half of the game but failed to extend their lead after squandering the numerous chances created.
Genoa returned from the tunnel with a different approach by gaining possession, and their efforts paid off in the dying embers of the game.
Como were reduced to ten men after Spanish defender Jacobo Ramon was shown a straight red card for a reckless challenge on Junior Messias in the 88th minute.
Ekuban, who was introduced in the 71st minute, brilliantly fired the equaliser in the 90+2 minute to end the fixture in a one-all draw.
He has been a key figure at Genoa since joining them from Trabzonspor in 2021.
Ekuban has been out of the senior national team of Ghana after representing the West African nation at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
