On the opening day of the Italian Serie A, Napoli recorded an emphatic 2–0 win at Genoa's Stadio Luigi Beraris. More importantly, Kevin De Bruyne, who came off the bench, turned the game around, scoring a goal and providing an assist to Antonio Vergara. It was Napoli's first match under Max Allegri; The new coach has had a successful start to the tournament.
Early in the match, Napoli's keeper Alex Merrett made a weak pass that put him in danger. Genoa's Vitinia had a shot that went just wide. Tommaso Baldanzi then chested down under pressure from the marker and volleyed towards the near post. Then Vitnya tested Meredith again; Next Alison Santos's low curler flew just beyond the reach of Rasmus Hoylund. Scott McTominay's shot from distance was saved by Justin Paislow for Napoli.
The teams were tied at the end of the first half. As Max Allegri made key changes in the second half, Kevin De Bruyne stepped onto the field and quickened the pace. McTominay's pass rolled down the right and Hoylund couldn't get a knock on the whole field. Alessandro Marchandelli then put his body to save Stanislav Lobotka's rocket from distance.
Spinachola stopped in between for Junior Messias to carry off a quick attack in the final stages; Sebastien Odoa struck the ball into the side-netting. The next moment came the turning point of the game. A quick 'give-and-go' between Kevin De Bruyne and Antonio Vergara; Johan Vázquez first tried to cover De Bruyne with his body as he returned Vergara's heel-blick pass. But a slight push from behind threw Vasquez off balance; De Bruyne calmly slotted into the back of the net from seven yards, avoiding Vasquez, who the referee thought was waiting. The Genoan soldiers strongly protested this; But the result stood – Napoli 1–0.
Minutes later Vergara himself was back on the field to create the second goal. His low cross went past Lorenzo Luca before De Bruyne started the counter down the right. But Vergara, who was ready from a lost angle, turned the ball towards goal with body poise. Standing on the line, Odoa tried to clear but failed and the ball crossed the goal line – 2–0.
New signings to Napoli's squad were not on target in this win; Benoit Badiashil from Chelsea was not even on the bench as he completed his contract earlier that day. Alessandro Puccino, Luca Marianucci long-term injury; De Bruyne, David Nerez and Pasquale Machocchi were not fully fit and were brought in early.
