In the 89th minute, Genoa's coach De Rossi decided to make a substitution, bringing on new signing Alex Amorim to replace Frendrup. However, both major television channels, Sky and DAZN, failed to display images of the 2005-born attacking midfielder, instead showing a picture of former Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim in a Genoa shirt, creating a humorous mix-up.

This embarrassing mistake was quickly spotted and widely shared on social media, spreading rapidly in a short period of time. Alongside sarcastic comments, there were also mocking remarks suggesting that Genoa's new signing wasn't famous enough to be accurately identified.
In fact, Alex Amorim is one of the most expensive signings for the Rossoneri this season.
Alex Amorim is not related to coach Ruben Amorim. The attacking midfielder, born in 2005, is a Brazilian national and transferred from Alverca. Genoa spent approximately 10 million euros in the January transfer window to acquire him, thus creating a highly creative midfield when paired with Baldanzi.

Alex Amorim is 1.77m tall and possesses outstanding qualities such as ball control in tight spaces, tactical awareness, and dribbling skills. He can play flexibly in many positions in the attacking line, contributing to both offensive and defensive support.
In Italy, midfielder Amorim hasn't had many opportunities to showcase his talent, and that's probably why he's not widely known to the public, even causing an unfortunate mix-up with a famous person with the same surname during his first television appearance.
