  • 10' AC Milan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' AC Milan currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.

  • 33' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 33 minutes.
  • 38' SSC Napoli have won 643 goals from 510 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 43' The travelling SSC Napoli supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 48' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jose Callejon made 510 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 53' AC Milan are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 58' Suso has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

  • 80' The SSC Napoli manager makes a substitution. Dries Mertens departs to be replaced by Simone Verdi.
  • 85' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Davide Calabria suffering a number of foals already.
  • 86' Albiol was booked on 86.
  • 88' SSC Napoli manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Adam Ounas is hanging Lorenzo Insigne on the field on 88 minute.
