Juventus lost their matchday at the Luigi Ferraris against Genoa, with a score of 2‑0 that pushed them to eighth position in the Serie A table. The match, which was played on October 28, 2026 at 20:45 CET, saw the Bianconeri fall decisively against the blues, with a performance that failed to meet the expectations of the club's fans.
The match started disastrously for Juventus. A cross from Baldanzi from the left became the first danger of the match, when the ball deflected and fell to the feet of Ehizibue, who shot hard. The first-half goal, scored in the 12th minute, left Spalletti's defense with no time to react. The lack of dominance in possession and insufficient pressure became evident, and Luciano Spalletti's team failed to control the dynamics of the game.
The second goal came shortly after, in the 29th minute, when a mistake by Kalulu allowed Vitinha to recover the ball and put Baldanzi in a shooting position. The German striker failed to convert, but Baldanzi took advantage of the opportunity and scored the second goal for Genoa. In the interval, Kalulu had the chance to reduce the difference with a penalty, but the shot went wide, leaving the Juventus players with no chance of coming back.
After the break, Spalletti made changes to the locker room, introducing Zhegrova and Woltemade, but the Juventus attack failed to generate any significant threats against Biljow's defense, which looked solid. Despite the opportunities in the final minutes, Juventus failed to score 2‑1, and the final result was sealed.
The relegation of Juventus to eighth position leaves the team out of the European competition spots, and the difference with the leaders Inter and Lazio increases to 11 points. The result also underlines the club's lack of consistency in the season, with only four points obtained in the last 12 games. Genoa, for its part, celebrated a victory that moves it away from the relegation zone and reinforces its position in the table.
