Lukaku and Kvaratskhelia sink AC Milan: Napoli goes through at San Siro
Milan-Napoli 0-2
It ends with the success of Napoli over Milan 2-0 in the big match of the tenth round of Serie A, played on the ground of the "Giuseppe Meazza" in Milan. The partenopei, with their fourth consecutive victory in the league (fifth if you also count the Coppa Italia), continue to soar in the standings, taking them to 25 points, momentarily +7 ahead of Inter, engaged Wednesday in Empoli. Milan, on the other hand, remains at 14, with many more doubts than certainties.
Immediately making the game difficult for the hosts è was Romelu Lukaku’s cue that made it 1-0 for Napoli at 5'the Belgian bomber received the ball from Anguissa and resisted Pavlovic’s charge, overcoming Maignan with a precise conclusion. Milan, after a few minutes of readjustment, did not è however, submissive: Musah created a few headaches for Meret on 27', on 33' è Loftus-Cheek’s header sent just wide.
In minute 43 forò comes the double: Kvaratskhelia receives the ball at the height of the left vertex of the penalty area, Fofana's marking è weak and allows the Georgian first to accentrarsi and then to shoot a great right that sees Maignan leave late and fail to reach the ball. It goes to halftime on 2-0 for the guests.
At 47' Milan seemed to be able to reopen the game, with a beautiful header by Morata that left Meret no chance: the verification in the VAR Room, with the help of the semi-automatic offside, chokes forò in the throat the Rossoneri scream of joy, it remains at 0-2. Fonseca relies on Leao, kept on the bench again from the 1'as against Udinese, and the ailing Pulisic, debilitated by the flu, in place of Okafor and Emerson Royal: è the Portuguese to make himself more dangerous between the two, with a beautiful conclusion at 83'83' deflected into the corner by Meret.
In the final there'è also Camarda for Loftus-Cheek, for a Milan with a decidedly front-wheel drive: nothing changes forò until the triple whistle, Napoli returns to winning at San Siro after two years (2-1 for the partenopei on Sept. 18, 2022, goals by Politano on a penalty and Simeone for Napoli, Giroud for Milan) and continues to dream.
