JAKARTA - AS Roma injured Andriy Shevchenko's debut as Genoa coach after beating his opponent 2-0 in the match week 13 of the Italian League at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium, Sunday local time.

Quoting Antara, the young talent Felix Afena-Gyan became an antagonist for Shevchenko through his role as a super-sub and bought Roma's two winning goals.

Only coming on in the 75th minute for Eldor Shomurudov, Afena-Gyan broke the deadlock seven minutes later to put the visitors ahead after capitalizing on Henrikh Mkhitaryan's pass on the counter-attack.

The Ghanaian player completed Roma's 2-0 victory through his goal in the fourth minute of injury time.

Shevchenko should be disappointed with his debut as a club-level coach after five years in charge of the Ukraine national team as Genoa appeared under pressure from Roma for most of the match.

Genoa only had about 40 percent possession in this match and had only one attempted goal.

Victory over Genoa brought Roma up to fifth place in the standings where Jose Mourinho's team collected 21 points.

Meanwhile, Genoa, who have now gone ten games without a win, are stuck in 18th with nine points after being overtaken by Sampdoria (12) a day ago, according to the Italian League's official website.

Both Genoa and Roma will feature in Sunday's league fixtures this week. Genoa travels to Dacia Arena against Udinese, while Roma hosts Torino at the Olimpico.

Before that, Thursday this week oma will first play the Conference League Group C match against Zorya Luhanks at the Olimpico.
