Napoli is urged to climb back to the 2nd position to keep up the race for the Scudetto. The Serie A Week 12 game on Saturday 12 November 2018 at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium in Genova is also a pressure for Genoa to climb towards the top 10 positions. Bad news is that Genoa lost this game giving the victory to Napoli after an own goal.
It is Genoa to open the score in the 20th minute. Christian Kouamé defeating Napoli goalkeeper David Ospina with a headed shot in the bottom left corner. The assist is by Rômulo with a cross.
