After a contact in the penalty area between goalkeeper Aleks Meret and Vitinjas, the VAR intervention confirmed the penalty. Ruslan Malinovski proved to be accurate, giving Genoa the lead.

Napoli's reaction was immediate. In the 20th minute, after a long-range shot by Scott McTominay was saved by the goalkeeper, Rasmus Hojlund followed up the action and sent the ball into the net for the equalizer. Just a few seconds later, McTominay scored a spectacular goal, overturning the score in favor of the Neapolitans. The first half ended with the score 1-2.

In the second half, Genoa managed to restore the balance. In the 56th minute, Lorenzo Colombo accurately finished off a quick counterattack, scoring the equalizer 2-2. The striker is owned by Milan and is on loan at Genoa.

The situation became more complicated for Napoli in the 76th minute, when Juan Jesus was punished with a second yellow card, leaving the team with a man less. Despite the numerical inferiority, the guests managed to find the winning goal in the extra minutes. After a disputed penalty, Rasmus Hojlund proved accurate from the penalty spot, sealing the 2-3 triumph for Napoli.

This victory gives Napoli 3 precious points, while Genoa is left with the regret of a match lost dramatically, amidst controversial decisions and strong emotions until the end.
