Napoli beat Genoa 2-1 at Marassi at the end of a match that the Neapolitans seemed to have already put in the safe in the first half with goals from Anguissa and Rrahmani and which instead became complicated after Pinamonti's goal in the second half which saw great protagonist Meret (decisive several times to avoid the equalizer). A complicated victory which, however, for Antonio Conte is worth the temporary return to the top of the 2024-2025 Serie A table.
