text: SOCCER - GENOA AWARDED ITALIAN CUP WIN . MILAN 1996-08-29 Italian soccer 's sports judge on Thursday ruled that Genoa , beaten 3-0 by Lecce in the first round of the Italian Cup , should be awarded a 2-0 victory because their opponents fielded a banned player . The ruling meant that serie B club Genoa now meet local serie A arch-rivals Sampdoria in the second round . Genoa appealed after their defeat last Saturday on the grounds that Lecce striker Jonathan Bachini , who came on in the 71st minute with his team leading 2-0 , still had a one-match suspension to serve from last season .
