What a heart Genoa is! He conquers a very heavy point despite having played for over an hour in numerical inferiority for the expulsion of Sturaro. Napoli postpones the Juventus scudetto party, which needed a blue defeat to celebrate the arithmetical certainty of the Italian flag. But the Neapolitan team is worried about the Europa League commitment. Carlo Ancelotti will have to work a lot these days to get the team back on their feet, which seemed confused and unresponsive. At Mertens' goal, Genoa responded with a great play by the duo Pandev-Lazovic: a pearl of the Macedonian's cross, a jewel of the Serb's shooting.

INSIGNE OUTSIDE - There is no surprise. Carlo Ancelotti keeps Lorenzo Insigne on the bench, fielding Mertens and Milik in attack. There are two innovations, in every way: between the posts there is Karnezis and on the left exterior there is the falling Ghoulam. For the rest, the coach deploys those players who will be on the pitch, Thursday night, at the Emirates, against Arsenal with the addition of Meret on goal and Mario Rui in place of Ghoulam. Prandelli, on the other hand, must do without the suspended Romero and Zukanovic: at the center of the defense is Gunter with Biraschi and Criscito side.

DANGER PANDEV - Napoli starts very fast and in the first two minutes the same number of times comes to a close with Fabian Ruiz and Milik, but neither of them manages to scare Radu. Genoa is not watching, on the contrary. Goran Pandev alone is enough to confuse the Neapolitan defense: he tries three times the Macedonian striker, but finds Karnezis's rejections that avoids worse troubles to his own. Napoli tries to push on the outside, but the game does not excel. Sturaro thinks, however, to question the performance of Genoa. It was on the 28th when the Rossoblù median entered madly on Allan in an action, however, insignificant. Easter warns him, but he is recalled by the Var, Aureliano, who advises him to review the phallus. The images convince the referee that the intervention is direct red and corrects his first decision expelling Sturaro. Despite the numerical inferiority they are the guests who come once again to the conclusion with Kouame and still Karnezis must deviate in a corner.

IN ADVANTAGE - Genoa attacks well, but leaves several spaces in the last twenty meters. And in one of these is Mertens (34 '), ready to capitalize on a Zielinski pass: the distance shot is not irresistible, but Radu starts slightly late and the ball enters the net. A flash, nothing more, because despite being in 10, Genoa starts to hammer again. Gunter hits the post at the corner of Pandev (38 ’), while Karnezis lays back to deflect Biraschi from a distance. Callejon finds the way, in the minutes of recovery, to exalt Radu with a right diagonal. But Genoa achieved a deserved draw with 48. Koulibaly lost the contrast with Kouame, which touched Pandev. The striker's assistant for Lazovic's right-footed volley is delightful, as is the Serbian's execution.

UNTIL THE END - Sturaro's expulsion forced Prandelli to revise the scheme: in numerical inferiority the genoa is lined up with 4-4-1. In the field, however, the man in Naples is not noticed. Milik tries to surprise Radu by turning in Callejon's cross: the Romanian goalkeeper blocks easily. Genoa defends itself well, but does not want to give up. Maksimovic risked an own goal to bring forward Pereira (33), while a minute later Rolon grazed the post from outside. The final is by Radu who performs two miracles on Koulibaly (40 ’) and on the deviation of Gunter (41’).
