  • 16' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Genoa CFC that had 418 games and scored 267 goals.
  • 21' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Genoa CFC and SSC Napoli are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 26' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 31' Genoa CFC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 32' The referee has no hesitation. Koni De Winter is booked for Genoa CFC — Yellow card on 32.
  • 33' Mateo Retegui was booked on 33.
  • 38' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 40' What a strike from Mattia Bani! The score is 1-0.
  • 45' Giacomo Raspadori is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Genoa CFC so far.
  • 46' It is a substitution in SSC Napoli team. Eljif Elmas is replaced by Matteo Politano on 46 minute.

  • 56' What a strike from Mateo Retegui! The score is 2-0.

  • 73' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Alberto Gilardino will be considering his options from the bench.
