Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. AC Milan kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' SSC Napoli is showing some good football. However, SSC Napoli are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 15' Andre Zambo Anguissa has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 18' The referee has no hesitation. Simon Kjaer is booked for AC Milan — Yellow card on 18.
  • 23' AC Milan are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 28' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 33' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Alex Meret made 510 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 38' 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 Min-Jae Kim suffering a number of foals already.
  • 43' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 45' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Davide Calabria.
  • 46' Another substitution for AC Milan to replace Simon Kjaer by Pierre Kalulu on 46 minute.
  • 51' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 54' The referee calls foul for Rade Krunic. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 55' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Matteo Politano makes it 0-1.
  • 60' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 63' A moment of madness from Amir Rrahmani on 63 minutes earns him a Yellow card. SSC Napoli will be frustrated.
  • 66' AC Milan make a change. Rade Krunic trudges off to be replaced by Brahim Diaz on 66 minutes.
  • 69' Against the run of play, Olivier Giroud has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 71' Giovanni Simeone catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 71.
  • 74' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Fikayo Tomori on 74 minutes.
  • 78' Giovanni Simeone is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 0 goals this season for the .
  • 82' AC Milan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yacine Adli is hanging Charles De Ketelaere on the field on 82 minute.
  • 87' It is a substitution in SSC Napoli team. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is replaced by Tanguy Ndombele on 87 minute.
  • 88' Alessio Zerbin has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 88.
  • 90' The supporters are chanting for Mathias Olivera. He replaces Mario Rui on 90 minute.
  • SSC Napoli celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
