Juventus entered the game proactively and soon had the opening goal in the 4th minute. From a situation where the ball bounced out in the penalty area, center-back Gleison Bremer headed accurately to put the home team ahead.
After the early goal, coach Luciano Spalletti's team continued to maintain pressure. In the 17th minute, from a quick counter-attack, Francisco Conceicao assisted Weston McKennie to finish neatly, increasing the score to 2-0.
In the remainder of the first half, Juventus controlled the game and created some notable opportunities, but McKennie could not complete a double when he missed a favorable opportunity at close range.
In the second half, the home team continued to maintain the overwhelming game and created many threats to Genoa's goal. However, McKennie and Jonathan David's chances were not converted into goals either.
In the 75th minute, Genoa had a chance to narrow the score when they were awarded a penalty. However, substitute goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio excellently saved Aaron Martin's shot, and continued to deny Vitinha's subsequent rebound shot, helping Juventus maintain the advantage.
This victory helps Juventus continue to closely follow the top 4 teams in the Serie A standings, thereby maintaining the opportunity to compete for a Champions League spot next season.
