Baloteli je zamalo postigao prvi gol za Đenovu, ali Napoli ponovo vodi Seriju A

Mario Baloteli almost scored his first goal in Serie A as Napoli returned to the top after withstanding a late siege from Genoa to secure a 2-1 victory on Saturday. The 34-year-old striker, who returned to Serie A after over four years in October, has played six matches totaling just 57 minutes. Baloteli was sent on with seven minutes left against Napoli and almost had an instant impact as Andrea Pinamonti’s header hit Baloteli’s knee, only for goalkeeper Alex Meret to push it off the post. Meret made several crucial saves in the second half as Genoa fought back after trailing by two goals at halftime from headers by Frank Anguissa and Amir Rrahmani. Pinamonti pulled one back for Genoa six minutes into the second half with a fine finish into the bottom right corner, but the home team suffered their first defeat since appointing Patrick Vieira as coach last month. It was also Genoa’s first match under the ownership of Romanian businessman Dan Sucu. The defeat leaves Genoa in 13th place in Serie A, just two points above the relegation zone. Napoli moved one point above Atalanta, who plays Empoli on Sunday. Lazio bounced back from a dismal 6-0 defeat at home to Inter by beating Lecce 2-1, but it was far from convincing despite Lecce playing the entire second half with 10 men. Lecce’s chances of getting something from the game seemed to diminish after halftime. Vladimiro Falcone brilliantly saved Taty Castellanos’ initial shot, and his follow-up was blocked by Lecce defender Frederik Gilbert, who was shown a red card. Castellanos converted the resulting penalty into the bottom left corner. Tete Morente equalized for Lecce five minutes after the dismissal, and it seemed like the 10 men would hold on for a point, but substitute Adam Marusic, who had just come off the bench, scored the winner three minutes into injury time. Lecce came close to leveling in stoppage time, but Mohamed Kaba’s header hit the crossbar. Lazio moved up to fourth, while Lecce remained two points above the relegation zone. Bologna saved a penalty but still defeated Torino 2-0.
