Napoli secured a dramatic 3-2 victory over Genoa, with Rasmus Højlund’s penalty in the 95th minute proving decisive in a thrilling Serie A encounter.

The visitors clinched a hard-fought win at the Luigi Ferraris, overcoming an early deficit and a late red card to grab all three points. This crucial result helps Napoli solidify their position in the top tier of the league.

Napoli, sitting comfortably in third place, aimed to extend their lead in the Champions League qualification spots. Meanwhile, 14th-placed Genoa sought valuable points to climb away from the relegation zone. The stage was set for an intense contest.

The match exploded into life almost immediately. Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret received a yellow card for tripping an opponent inside the box in the second minute. Ruslan Malinovskyi calmly stepped up and converted the resulting penalty in the third minute, giving Genoa a dream start.

However, Napoli responded swiftly. Rasmus Højlund found the back of the net in the 20th minute, leveling the score. Just two minutes later, Scott McTominay completed the quick turnaround, guiding home a goal in the 22nd minute with an assist from Amir Rrahmani, putting Napoli 2-1 ahead.

Napoli controlled possession, with 60% of the ball, trying to extend their lead before the break. Genoa fought hard, looking for opportunities to counter-attack as the first half drew to a close.

At half-time, Genoa needed a strong second-half performance to recover from losing their early advantage. Napoli aimed to maintain their composure and tactical discipline to secure the win.

The second half brought more drama. Lorenzo Colombo struck for Genoa in the 57th minute, restoring parity and igniting the home crowd. The score stood at 2-2, setting up a tense final period.

Napoli’s task became even harder when Juan Jesus received his second yellow card in the 76th minute for holding, resulting in a red card. Napoli faced the final quarter of an hour with only ten men on the pitch.

Genoa pressed for a winning goal against the shorthanded opposition, but Napoli held firm. In the 95th minute of added time, Højlund stepped up to dispatch a penalty, securing a dramatic late winner for the visitors.

Match statistics highlighted Napoli’s efficiency, with five shots on target from 14 total shots, generating an expected goals (xG) tally of 2.3. Genoa managed three shots on target from 12 total shots, with an xG of 1.32, despite their numerical advantage late on.

This thrilling 3-2 victory sees Napoli maintain their third-place standing in Serie A with 49 points. Genoa remains in 14th position with 23 points, left to lament a missed opportunity to gain ground at home.
