Juventus snapped their two-game losing run in Serie A as they beat Genoa by a solitary goal at the Allianz Stadium. The hosts sought to return to winning ways after losing two games on the bounce, and it took them just 25 minutes to break the stalemate. Kenan Yildiz danced his way past a number of Genoa tackles inside the area as the ball tumbled in front of him. Then, he fired the ball in from a tight angle to send the home crowd into a frenzy.
Even though Juventus led at the half, the home team suffered yet another injury in the first half, as Gatti was substituted out minutes after the opening goal. Genoa had their own opportunities to tie the score, but they had trouble coming up with any decisive plays in the first half. In the second half, the Old Lady persisted in pressing the visitors. Renato Veiga had the opportunity to double Juventus's advantage, but the defender missed the chance.
