Relive the live: Napoli fight back to beat Genoa 2-1 in comeback win | OneFootball

Tonight at 6 pm, Antonio Conte's Napoli will be engaged in the postponed match of this sixth championship day against Patrick Vieira's Genoa, who last year snatched a draw from the blues, slowing down their title race. Now the situation is different. The Rossoblu, after the first five rounds, are last with just 2 points. Conte's boys, on the other hand, come from a defeat in the last Serie A match against Allegri's Milan, in the big match at San Siro. For this reason, the Neapolitans are looking for three points, waiting for Juventus-Milan, on the field tonight in Turin.
