He suffers but Napoli wins against a Genoa full of youngsters that wins the second consecutive success and flies to the top with Inter and Lazio. Partenopei in the lead with a magic by Fabian Ruiz at the end of the first half, Genoa that draws with Cambiaso but then falls in the final on a goal from the newly entered Petagna. Rossoblù who complain about a goal canceled in Pandev very doubtful. For Genoa, however, a new season will begin tomorrow with the expected reinforcements, Maksimovic, Caicedo, Vasquez and Touré all present in the stands and available for the resumption after the break. Light trident for Spalletti who lined up Lozano, Insigne and Politano against a Genoa with a single point Ekuban.
And Naples immediately dangerous with Lozano who heads on Politano’s cross but puts it high. Genoa, however, holds up well with a 3-5-1-1 that in defensive inf ase turns into a gritty 5-4-1 by erecting a wall in front of the defense. Napoli struggled even with an excellent round of the ball, thus relying above all on Insigne’s inspiration who at 13 ‘commits Sirigu with a nice diagonal. But Genoa understands they can do more and dares so much that around 20 ‘they close to the advantage with Ghiglione who, however, finds Meret good at opposing and deflecting for a corner. Napoli resumes command of the game as the minutes pass and at the half hour Insigne still commits Sirigu. But it is only at 39 ‘that the guests’ advantage arrives thanks to a magic by Fabian Ruiz from the limit who with a perfect diagonal for precision and power slips the ball into the farthest corner where the rossoblù goalkeeper cannot reach. A goal that allows Napoli to go to rest ahead.
But in the interval Ballardini changes by inserting Pandev and the young Pole Buksa on his debut and Genoa changes face. Already at 5 ‘Ghiglione would have the same ball but first Meret then Manolas oppose. At 9 ‘Genoa in goal with Pandev who reiterates a lost ball on the net by Meret but Di Bello cancels for a foul, very doubtful, on Meret himself. The goal, however, is in the air and arrives at 24 ‘, after Sirigu had saved on Lozano, Ghiglione cuts the area with a cross that is ready at the far post Cambiaso, volley and goal for the young winger born in Genoa and product of the rossoblù youth sector. Spalletti thus relies on the substitutions by inserting Ounas and Petagna but Insigne is always the most dangerous by engaging the rossoblù goalkeeper on two occasions. And just Petagna just entered in the 40 ‘finds the goal of the new advantage by spitting a free kick from Mario Rui with Masiello, his scorer, motionless. Six minutes of recovery are not enough for the rossoblù to recover again and so in the end Napoli can celebrate but the home crowd rightly pays a big round of applause to their young players.
