Napoli Reclaims Serie A Top Spot

Napoli reclaimed the top spot in Serie A with a narrow 2-1 victory over Genoa, thanks to first-half goals from Frank Anguissa and Amir Rrahmani. Despite leading at halftime, Napoli struggled in the second half as Genoa, under new ownership and coach Patrick Vieira, fought back with a goal from Andrea Pinamonti. Mario Balotelli, recently returned to Serie A, nearly equalized for Genoa in the closing minutes, but Napoli's goalkeeper Alex Meret's decisive saves secured the win. Napoli manager Antonio Conte expressed dissatisfaction with the team's second-half performance, emphasizing the need for consistency throughout the match. The victory places Napoli one point ahead of Atalanta, who have a chance to regain the lead against Empoli on Sunday. Meanwhile, Genoa remains in the lower half of the standings, only two points clear of the relegation zone.
