Höjlund rescues Napoli with dramatic 3-2 win over Genoa in Serie A

  • On Saturday, Feb. 7, 2026, Rasmus Højlund scored a last-gasp penalty to give 10-man Napoli a 3-2 win at Genoa, sealing a dramatic finish.
  • A botched back pass from Alessandro Buongiorno led Alex Meret to foul Vitinha seconds into the game, resulting in a second-minute penalty Ruslan Malinovskyi converted, and Buongiorno’s later error allowed Lorenzo Colombo to score in the 57th.
  • After Bijlow's initial save, Højlund scored the rebound and McTominay’s long shot made it 2-1, but McTominay left at halftime with a muscular injury.
  • Højlund's second goal moved Napoli one point behind AC Milan and six behind Inter Milan, with both clubs holding a game in hand.
  • After Juan Jesus' sending off in the 76th for pulling back Caleb Ekuban, a VAR review awarded a penalty when Maxwel Cornet kicked Antonio Vergara's foot.
