From the source
Juventus lost 2-0 at Genoa on Serie A Matchday 9, a third league defeat in nine games that undid the good work of the win at Lecce.
Napoli, the next visitors to Turin, now have the same points total. The defeat came on 28 October 2026, with both Genoa goals arriving before half-time.
Luciano Spalletti apologised to the supporters afterwards. The result came three days after a 2-0 win at Lecce on Matchday 8. That win, built on first-half goals from Weston McKennie and Douglas Luiz, now looks like a false dawn.
