The situation was tense as Napoli came from behind to defeat Genoa 2-1. Genoa initially took the lead in the 33rd minute with a back-heel goal from Ekhator. However, in the second half, Anguissa equalized with a header in the 57th minute, and Hojlund sealed the win in the 75th minute after a save from Leali. Unfortunately, Lobotka and Politano sustained injuries. With this win, Napoli reaches 15 points and climbs to the top position.

A chilly shower at the Maradona! Genoa quiets the Stadium in the 33rd minute, taking the lead. Jeff Ekhator netted from very close range with a right-footed shot to the center, beating Napoli's goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic. The assist came from Brooke Norton-Cuffy. Norton-Cuffy maneuvered past Olivera and delivered a cross into the center, where Ekhator finished with a brilliant backheel from inside the six-yard box.

Napoli leveled the score in the 57th minute. Frank Anguissa found the net with a header from just a few feet away, directing it into the bottom left corner. Spinazzola delivered a cross, Vasquez made a dive before Hojlund, and Anguissa successfully headed the ball into the goal.
Napoli changed the game in the 75th minute. Rasmus Højlund found the net with a left-footed strike to the bottom right corner. Leali managed to deflect Anguissa's dangerous shot, but he was helpless against Højlund, who scored with his left foot inside the box.
