Genoa обыгрывает Juventus 2-0 и одерживает третью домашнюю победу подряд

Ehizibue scored after twelve minutes

Ehizibue struck after Baldanzi’s cross from the left. Andrea Cambiaso tried to block the shot, but the deflection took the ball beyond goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.

The early lead allowed Genoa to defend in a compact shape and attack when Juventus lost the ball. The hosts did not need long spells of possession to threaten the visiting defence.

Baldanzi doubled the advantage before half-time

Vitinha beat Pierre Kalulu and kept the attack alive before the ball reached Baldanzi inside the area. His finish took a slight deflection from Bremer and made it 2-0 shortly before the half-hour mark.

The goal gave Baldanzi his first Serie A match with both a goal and an assist. Genoa then lost Mikael Ellertsson to injury in the 41st minute, while Kalulu put Juventus’ best first-half opportunity wide.

Juventus increased the pressure but could not score

Luciano Spalletti introduced Edon Zhegrova and Nick Woltemade at half-time. Juventus moved higher, and Bijlow denied Zhegrova around the 75th minute.

Jhon Lucumi and Woltemade also had attempts before Teun Koopmeiners struck the crossbar with a stoppage-time free-kick. Eight of Juventus’ 16 shots came from set-piece situations.

Genoa’s October recovery continued

Genoa recorded their first victory over Juventus since May 2022 and a third consecutive home win. The result moved Daniele De Rossi’s team five points clear of the relegation zone immediately after the match.

De Rossi also defeated his former coach Spalletti. Juventus had about 63 percent possession and nine corners to Genoa’s six, but the hosts protected the clean sheet in front of 30,657 spectators.
