Genoa vs Napoli ended 0-2 in Serie A after a match that stayed goalless until the closing stages. K. De Bruyne and A. Vergara scored late at Stadio Luigi Ferraris, combining on both goals, as the visitors took the points despite creating less of the play.
Match Summary
The opening period set a cautious tone. Genoa lined up in a 3-4-2-1 and Napoli in a 4-3-3, and the hosts spent long spells trying to turn a slight territorial edge into a first goal. Attempts came more often from the home side, yet nothing found the net before the interval, and the contest remained open.
After the restart the pattern held. M. Politano received a yellow card in the 54th minute, one of the few clear interruptions in a half that still refused to produce a breakthrough. Genoa continued to push without reward, and Napoli waited for an opening.
That opening arrived late. K. De Bruyne put Napoli ahead after 82 minutes, with A. Vergara supplying the assist. The lead doubled five minutes later when A. Vergara finished and K. De Bruyne returned the favor. L. Ostigard was booked in the 90th minute, and Genoa never found a reply.
