However, Napoli's fortunes changed when Jeff Ekhator scored a goal for Genoa just past the half-hour mark, ending his year-long wait for a Serie A goal. Napoli's midfielder Stanislav Lobotka was forced to leave the game just before halftime, which could have given Genoa momentum.

Napoli's manager Antonio Conte made a tactical switch at halftime, introducing Leonardo Spinazzola and Kevin De Bruyne to the game. The move paid off as Napoli equalized in the 57th minute, with Frank Anguissa scoring from a cross by Spinazzola.

Napoli continued to push for a winning goal, with Rasmus Hojlund and Giovanni Di Lorenzo both coming close. Eventually, Hojlund scored the winner after a rebound from Anguissa's saved shot.

Napoli's ability to win games from behind has been impressive this season, with a win rate of 60% in home league games they've trailed at halftime. This win sends a warning signal to other teams that may try to challenge them.

Napoli's victory keeps them at the top of the league, while Genoa remains winless and in the drop zone.
