Between bad weather and Covid, Napoli-Genoa started with high risk. Initially scheduled for 3:00 p.m., the match was postponed to 6:00 p.m. after Perin and Schone tested positive, but a rain and wind storm hit San Paolo.

Napoli starts strong, dangerous first with a hulking header from Osimhen and then with a speed boost from Lozano closed just before the shot. The goal is in the air and comes on time in the 10th minute, when Mertens catches Lozano from behind the rossoblù defense: Chucky burns everyone with an Alley cut and beats Marchetti with a right split.
⏱ 10 ‘| GOOOOOOOOOLLLLL 💥
We go ahead with the goal of Chuckyyyyyyy😍😍😍😍@ HirvingLozano70 🚀 #NapoliGenoa 1-0– SSC Napoli Officer (@sscnapoli) September 27, 2020
Napoli plays well, not even two minutes and Osimhen hits the double with a right hand from the edge of the area that gets lost in the back but wins the applause of the thousand spectators present at the San Paolo. Even more sensational was the opportunity lost by Lozano in the 19 ‘: Osimhen escapes on the counterattack, stops and serves Mertens, the first intention to change the game to reward the Mexican’s shot that angles the diagonal too much.
Napoli is in velvet, but Gattuso loses Insigne in the 20th minute, knocked out by a muscle problem in the left flexor. Inside Elmas and a slightly less offensive lineup. The Blues feel the blow, attack with less incisiveness and give Genoa meters, but Maran’s eleven fails to sink the blow and Meret reaches 45 ‘without ever dirtying his gloves. On the other hand, Osimhen fights but never finds the door. So we go to the break with the forward 1-0.
He starts again and at Napoli Manolas remains in the locker room: in his place is Maksimovic. Ready now and Azzurri’s double: the extraordinary personal action of Zielinski who reaches the edge of the area and exchanges with Lozano, enters Osimhen, heel strike and returns the ball to Piotr who places the right behind Marchetti.

Press again, Napoli. First Elmas and then Lozano hook Marchetti with two good shots from the outside, then Di Lorenzo hits the trio with a header out of nowhere. On the other hand, Mertens was not wrong and at 12 ‘he received the ball from Zielinski on the edge of the area and the right-hander that earned him the trio exploded.

What a show at the San Paolo: Napoli catches up with Mertens who at 20 ‘sends Lozano to goal, speed control and the first Italian double for Chucky. Gattuso also sends Politano and Lobotka to the field but it is Elmas who celebrates: long shot from Koulibaly, hat from Hysaj, dribble and ball in the hole for the young Macedonian.
