Read about Napoli's dramatic 1-1 draw against Genoa, including a late equalizer by Cyril Ngonge and the team's turbulent journey in Serie A.

Napoli faced an intense battle against Genoa in Serie A, with Cyril Ngonge's 90th-minute goal salvaging a 1-1 draw for the champions. The defending champions, Napoli, struggled to secure a victory and relied on Ngonge's last-gasp heroics to avoid a defeat at home. Despite their title status, Napoli's performance raised concerns as they needed a late equalizer against the mid-table Genoa team.

The match saw Napoli missing key players like Victor Osimhen but fielding players like Alex Meret, Natan, and debutant Hamed Junior Traore. The crisis-club Napoli's woes deepened as they were held to a draw by Genoa, compounding their struggles in Serie A. The pressure mounted on the reigning champions ahead of their upcoming Champions League match, highlighting their inconsistent form.

The meek defense of their Serie A title became evident as Napoli faced the risk of becoming the worst Serie A champions in almost 60 years. Despite the draw, Napoli's performance indicated a turbulent season for the champions, raising doubts about their ability to maintain their title status.

Napoli's journey in Serie A has been marred by challenges, with the draw against Genoa exemplifying their struggles. Cyril Ngonge's late goal provided a moment of respite for Napoli, but the team's inconsistent form and defensive frailties remain key concerns. As Napoli navigates through a tough season, their performance against Genoa highlights the need for improvement and stability to retain their standing in Serie A.
