Napoli 0 - 0 Genoa
Napoli wanted to put an end to the internal crisis they had been going through in recent days, largely caused by the inconsistency shown in the early stages of the current season. Aurelio De Laurentiis, president of the Napoli club, wanted to concentrate the players to better prepare for the matches, although it is true that the squad would have completely opposed it. Carlo Ancelotti's troops had given in at the Olimpico against AS Roma, and had also been unable to go beyond a draw in the Champions League against Red Bull Salzburg. On the other hand, Genoa have suffered a clear defeat at home against Udinese.
The most notable thing during the first 45 minutes was a goal that the referee had to disallow for the home team, a decision that was correct. Napoli tried their luck throughout the game, with a more than remarkable statistic in terms of shots on goal, although Genoa also tried to put Ionuț Radu in trouble on more than one occasion. Despite this, the scoreboard did not change at the San Paolo Stadium, so Ancelotti will continue to be under pressure as he has not been able to find the right formula to secure a much-needed victory.
