Another bad step backwards by Gattuso's men beaten by two glaring defensive errors that allowed the former Pandev to score a brace that knocked out Napoli in the first half.
Disappointing match for the Neapolitans who failed to equalize a match that started badly. Maksimovic, imprecise in serving Demme, gave the ball to Pandev who sealed the Rossoblu lead; a quarter of an hour later another error by the Azzurri defensive line that allowed the Grifone to double their lead, once again scored by the Macedonian. Sterile possession and the usual lack of clarity in front of goal negatively affected the performance of Gattuso's boys. The 3-man midfield was not convincing and the defensive phase continues to be a big problem for Ringhio, who also had to do without Manolas in the last 20 minutes, who left due to injury. Perin, together with Pandev, was Genoa's best, saving his team on more than one occasion.
Grifone cynical unlike Napoli, who is also unlucky hitting the woodwork twice, first with Petagna and then with Insigne. Politano, in the 2th minute, takes advantage of the only mistake by Ballardini's team, closing the gap, but only deceiving the Neapolitan fans. A missed opportunity, therefore, for Napoli to catch up with Roma at 79 points and now it's really getting tough for Rino Gattuso.
