Juve "broke" Genoa 2-0, a golden three-pointer that brings the "Old Lady" closer to the Champions League zone. With 57 points in 31 weeks, Juve sees itself only 1 point away from Como, in fourth place. Spalletti's team did not put the match in doubt at any moment, quickly finding the advantage goal in the 4th minute, with Bremer who, with a header inside the area, found a slight deflection and sent the ball into the net. In the 17th minute, with a perfect counterattack McKennie doubled the numbers, making this meeting even easier. The American midfielder was the main protagonist in this challenge, with the American flirting on at least two more occasions to score the third goal.

The story of this match could have changed in the 75th minute when Genoa won a penalty. Goalkeeper Di Gregorio did his part by stopping Martin with a super save, a detail that decided the fate of this match and allowed Juve to come away with full points as the score remained unchanged. Despite the victory, Spalletti did not appear completely happy:

"It's not possible to have a first half like that, then a second half where you risk being punished by episodes, this makes the match difficult. How did I experience Italy's elimination? Very bad. I swear that when the match in Bosnia ended I imagined myself in Gattuso's place. My first thought went exactly to him, I feel sorry for Gattuso", Spalletti said among other things.
