Chievo midfielder Lucas Castro believed the Flying Donkeys’ 1-0 success over Genoa at the Stade Bentegodi on Sunday afternoon was essential to their survival hopes.
The Argentine netted the solitary goal of the contest shortly after the interval as Rolando Maran’s outfit moved eleven points clear of the relegation zone.
“It’s a major step towards our goal, we are happy and closer to our objective,” Castro told Premium Sports after the game.
“Now we have two difficult games coming up, it is always good to claim the three points at home.”
Chievo travel to the San Paolo to face Napoli next weekend before hosting a resurgent AC Milan.
The victory moved the Flying Donkeys into the top-half of the Serie A table while Genoa remain level on points with city rivals Sampdoria and only five points clear of safety.
