Match Overview
Genoa extended their formidable home form on Tuesday evening, notching their fourth consecutive win at Stadio Luigi Ferraris by beating Juventus 2-0 in Serie A. The result marked a significant setback for the Bianconeri, whose disappointing start to the 2026/27 season continued and left them under mounting pressure in the league standings.
First Half: Genoa Take Command
Riding the momentum of a recent 1-0 victory over Venezia, Genoa once again flew out of the blocks, testing Juventus’ defence from the opening whistle. The hosts’ early pressure paid off in the 12th minute when Tommaso Baldanzi delivered a low cross from the left flank into the box. Kingsley Ehizibue capitalised from close range, his effort taking a significant deflection off Andrea Cambiaso before nestling in the net.

Genoa, managed by Daniele De Rossi, did not let up. They doubled their advantage before the half-hour mark, capitalising on a defensive blunder from Pape Matar Sarr, who failed to clear a long ball. Vitinha’s surging run into the area created panic, laying the ball into the path of Baldanzi, whose close-range strike deflected off Gleison Bremer and flew past goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.
Juventus had the chance to pull a goal back just before half-time when Pierre Kalulu found himself with a clear opportunity, but he was unable to convert, much to the relief of the home crowd.
Second Half: Missed Chances and Frustration
After the break, Juventus attempted to raise their intensity in search of a comeback. However, Genoa remained a threat on the counter, and nearly extended their lead within 15 minutes of the restart, as Leo Ostigard narrowly missed with a header and Vitinha fired over when well placed.
As the match wore on, Luciano Spalletti’s Juventus side increased their urgency. Bremer came closest to scoring for the visitors with a header that skimmed over from a corner, but their overall lack of quality in the final third proved costly, preventing any genuine chance of a late rescue.

Implications for the Table
This result lifted Genoa five points clear of the relegation zone and ended their six-match winless streak against Juventus in all competitions. For Juventus, a third Serie A loss of the season saw them drop to eighth in the table and increased scrutiny on Luciano Spalletti ahead of a crucial meeting with Napoli at the weekend.
