Napoli were only able to muster a 1-1 draw against Genoa on Sunday evening, despite having a man advantage for the vast majority of the game.
Napoli were given a boost after 25 minutes when Stefano Sturaro was handed a straight red for a late challenge on Allan. Gli Azzurri immediately made the most of their one-man advantage and opened the scoring through Dries Mertens, who coolly slotted the ball home after being fed in by Piotr Zielinski.
The hosts looked to be heading in to the interval a goal to the good, but Genoa were able to snatch an equaliser right on the brink of half-time.
