Match Report
Genoa and Napoli played out a goalless first half at the Luigi Ferraris, with neither side creating much of note. Napoli edged possession and generated the greater threat, though clear-cut chances were scarce in the opening 45 minutes.
The second half proved more eventful. A flurry of substitutions reshaped both teams around the hour mark, and Napoli gradually asserted control. Kevin De Bruyne broke the deadlock in the 82nd minute, and Antonio Vergara added a second just five minutes later to seal a comfortable victory for the visitors. The expected goals figures told the story clearly, with Napoli finishing on 0.58 against Genoa's meagre 0.10, reflecting the away side's dominance in the final third.
Genoa rarely threatened, managing only one shot on target across the entire match. Yellow cards for Leo Østigård and Stefano Sabelli added some late ill-temper to proceedings. The result was a deserved Napoli win — an outcome the pre-match AI model had identified as the most likely result at 49%.
