Overview
- Genoa beat Juventus 2-0 at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Wednesday after two early goals from Kingsley Ehizibue and Tommaso Baldanzi.
- Ehizibue opened the scoring from a deflected low cross and Baldanzi doubled the lead after Pierre Kalulu failed to clear under pressure, with both strikes coming inside the first 30 minutes.
- Juventus controlled 63% possession and recorded an xG of 1.28 but managed only four shots on target from 17 attempts, unable to break down Genoa’s deep, organised defensive block.
- Individual errors and limited options shaped the game as Kalulu’s miscue created the second goal and Juventus’ long injury list forced tactical changes that reduced their attacking punch.
- The defeat leaves Juventus in eighth on 14 points and raises questions about their midfield balance and readiness before their next league fixture against Napoli.
