Anguissa Ends Genoa’s Defensive Resilience Under Vieira

For 375 minutes of play, excluding added time, Patrick Vieira’s Genoa had maintained an impressive defensive record, conceding no goals from open play. This streak came to an end when Zambo Anguissa of Napoli found the back of the net just 15 minutes into their recent encounter.

Prior to this match, Genoa had only conceded twice under Vieira’s leadership, both instances being penalty kicks in his debut game against Cagliari. The former Arsenal and Juventus midfielder had instilled a strong defensive discipline in his team since taking charge.

Anguissa’s goal marks a significant moment for both Napoli and Genoa, highlighting the offensive capabilities of the Neapolitan side while also testing the resilience of Vieira’s defensive tactics. This event adds an intriguing dimension to the ongoing Serie A season, as teams continue to adapt and evolve their strategies.
