THERE GOES THE FINAL WHISTLE!
Napoli hit back late on to earn a draw. A thrilling match, but Genoa were good for the draw after leading 2-0. A brilliant match to watch, and perhaps the home side were unfortunate not to complete the win.
90+1'
GENOA BATTLING FOR A POINT
Looked good for all three, but will settle for one at the moment against the champions.

ALL HAPPENING OUT THERE
Gudmundsson threatens at the other end as ball across face of goal finds no takers. Almost a late Genoa winner.

GOAL FOR NAPOLI!
The visiting side level it up with a stunning finish as Matteo Politano races onto the Piotr Zielinski ball to drill the ball into the net. It is 2-2. What a match! What a comeback from Napoli.

GENOA SWEATING ON A VAR CALL
Appeals from Napoli that Bani handled as he went to ground to make a challenge, but VAR decided it came off his shoulder and decides right. Was not conclusive that he even handled. Phew! Genoa living on the edge.
82'
ANOTHER CHANCE FOR GENOA
Gudmundsson with chance of edge of box, but he flicks the shot wide of the target. Just trying to curl it into the goal, but nothing doing.
80'
AND THE NAPOLI MAN IS BOOKED TOO
Jens Cajuste takes out Gudmundsson, and pays the price with a yellow card.

GOAL FOR NAPOLI!
A lifeline for the visitors as Giacomo Raspadori fires a rasping shot into the net from distance. What a finish from the substitute. Napoli back in the ball game.

THE NAPOLI STRUGGLES CONTINUE
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia manages to float a shot at goal, but nowhere near enough venom to trouble Martinez, who almost falls on the ball.
70'
ANOTHER GENOA SHOT
They've certainly not been fortunate this evening as Gudmundsson unleashes a shot that bends just wide of the visiting goal. Tactics up to this point have been perfect.
67'
SO CLOSE TO ONE BACK
Victor Osimhen battles for a loose ball before nudging a shot towards goal under Martinez, but couldn't get any pace on the finish and Genoa have bodies back to clear the threat. Better from Napoli.
65'
NAPOLI APPEAL FOR A PENALTY
Not even the need for VAR to sort that one out. Victor Osimhen goes to ground far too easily in a fair tussle. Was never a foul and we play on.
63'
GENOA CONTINUE TO EXPLOIT SPACE ON COUNTER
Albert Gudmundsson is penalised for a handball. The Genoa fans continue to party like its Saturday night. Which it is.
61'
NAPOLI ALL AT SEA IN THE FINAL THIRD
Just can't seem to come up with the creative spark to break down this Genoa spirit at the back. The counter attack also suits the home side's strategy to perfection.
59'
NAPOLI CHANGE THE PLAN THEN
Mathías Olivera replaces Mário Rui as Giacomo Raspadori is thrown on to take over from André-Frank Zambo Anguissa.

GOAL FOR GENOA!
A second for the home side and now Napoli are in deep, deep trouble. Mateo Retegui turns to thump a shot into the corner of the net after the loose ball broke to him. Fabulous finish inside the area and a 2-0 lead for Genoa. Kevin Strootman with the ball into the box.
