Genoa defeated Juventus 2-0 at home.

The Serie A clash took place on 28 October 2026 under the lights of Stadio Luigi Ferraris in Genova. Both sides entered the match looking to add points to their campaign, but it was the home side that dictated the early tempo and ultimately walked away with a comfortable win.

How it unfolded

The opening stages were lively, and Genoa struck first in the 12th minute. Kingsley Ehizibue received a well-timed cross from Tommaso Baldanzi on the right side of the box and unleashed a right-footed shot that curled into the top right corner, giving the hosts an early lead. The assist from Baldanzi highlighted his ability to deliver dangerous balls into the penalty area.

Just sixteen minutes later, Genoa doubled their advantage. Tommaso Baldanzi, who had already provided the assist, turned the focus onto himself. From the centre of the box he fired a right-footed strike that slipped into the bottom left corner, extending the lead to 2-0. The goal reinforced Genoa’s dominance in the first half and left Juventus chasing the game.

The second half saw Juventus attempt to get back into the contest, but their efforts were halted in the 70th minute when Edon Zhegrova was shown a yellow card for a bad foul. The booking did not alter the scoreline, and Genoa maintained control until the final whistle.
