Match statistic
Juventus triumphed over Genoa in Serie A Week 6 on Saturday, September 28, 2024, at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium in Genoa, Italy. The match saw Juventus dominate, with Vlahovic scoring a penalty in the 48th minute to break the deadlock. He followed that up with another goal just seven minutes later, showcasing his skill with a precise left-footed shot. Genoa's Koopmeiners came close with a shot that hit the crossbar in the 64th minute, but it was Conceicao who sealed the deal with a third goal in the 89th minute, assisted by Thuram.
Juventus fans can rejoice as the team has finally ended their run of three straight league matches that finished 0-0. This victory means the Bianconeri have sidestepped the rare occurrence of drawing four matches in a row without finding the back of the net, something that has never happened in their Serie A history.
In the upcoming round, Genoa will travel to face Atalanta, while Juventus will host Cagliari at home.
