Genoa defeated Juventus 2-0 at Marassi in the Serie A match. The home side scored with two quick counterattacks in the early minutes. Kingsley Ehizibue and Tommaso Baldanzi were the goalscorers.

Juventus's injury problems continued in this match. Kenan Yıldız, Khephren Thuram, Manuel Locatelli, Nico Gonzalez, Zeki Çelik, Francisco Conceicao, Jeff Ekhator and Kamil Grabara were all unavailable. After playing two strikers in the last two matches, the coaching staff left Nick Woltemade on the bench and gave Kerim Alajbegovic a chance.

Both Genoa goals came from similar patterns. After Juventus's misplaced passes and rash challenges in defence gave away possession, the Bianconeri were caught out of position on the counterattack and could not reach the Genoa goal. Baldanzi's cross from the left found Ehizibue alone at the far post, and he put the ball into the net.

As the half approached, Juventus looked close to scoring. However, Kalulu's shot with the inside of his foot from 12 metres went wide. After the restart, Juventus failed to take their chances, with Kolo Muani's first touch letting them down. Genoa took advantage of their opponent's errors to secure the result.
