In the first half, the Rossoneri had four scoring chances and the Italian champions two, but it was the latter who took the lead toward the end of the first half, in the 39th minute: cross from the left by Hojlund, Maignan came out but did not hold the ball, David took advantage by scoring with a wide open goal.

In the recovery of the first half, however, Maignan says no to Hojlund’s doubling attempt. In the second half, however, there is the double in the 63rd minute: Spinazzola vertically for Hojlund, who with a diagonal shot makes Maignan dry, who is unable to repel with his foot but only deflects the ball onto the post, which then ends up in the goal.

Napoli, after two consecutive league defeats, thus goes to the final where it will face the winner of the second semifinal between Bologna and Inter, which will be played tomorrow night in the same stadium.
