AC Milan maintained its unbeaten run in Serie A, beating Sampdoria 2-1 on Sunday.
Milan made the trip to Genoa without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Simon Kjaer, Ismael Bennacer and Rafael Leao, so Ante Rebic started as a makeshift center-forward, while Alessio Romagnoli partnered Matteo Gabbia in defense.
The Diavolo had a great chance in the 38th minute but Rebic saw his effort cleared off the line with goalkeeper Emil Audero well beaten.
The away side finally broke the deadlock before the interval with Franck Kessie converting a spot-kick.
Milan made it 2-0 in the 76th minute as Samu Castillejo came off the bench to powerfully drill home.
Albin Ekdal pulled a goal back for Sampdoria in the 82nd minute, but it was too late.
Milan still leads the table with 26 points, five ahead of second-placed city rival Inter Milan.
Napoli registered another four-goal victory as the Partenopei crushed Crotone 4-0. Lorenzo Insigne put the away side in front in the first half and set up for Hirving Lozano after the break, while Diego Demme and Andrea Petagna also got on the scoresheet.
Roma and Sassuolo played out a goalless draw, with Roma hitman Pedro Rodriguez sent off after collecting two yellow cards.
Also on Sunday, Hellas Verona drew 1-1 with Cagliari, Parma and Benevento played out a 0-0 stalemate, while the match between Udinese and Atalanta was postponed due to poor pitch conditions.
