First Half

At 33 minutes of the first half, Genoa opened the scoring with Jeff Ekhator, who received a pass from Brooke Norton-Cuffy and made a backheel touch into the net. Despite Napoli's greater ball possession, it was the visiting team that had more shots in the initial stage: four times against just one from the opponent.
