Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for SSC Napoli to score. At the same time, AC Milan does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 2' Matteo Politano makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and SSC Napoli are in front.
- 7' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 12' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 17' AC Milan seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 19' The Belgium forward Romelu Lukaku breaks the deadlock on 19 minutes. 2-0!
- 24' AC Milan come into this ranked 9 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 29' Youssouf Fofana has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 2 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 34' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SSC Napoli that had 511 games and scored 645 goals.
- 39' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 40' That is a card for SSC Napoli. Romelu Lukaku will be fuming at that decision.
- 45' 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 Tijjani Reijnders suffering a number of foals already.
- 46' AC Milan make a change. Warren Bondo trudges off to be replaced by Rafael Leao on 46 minutes.
- 51' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 55' The AC Milan bench stirs into life. Joao Felix is withdrawn and Samuel Chukwueze gets his opportunity.
- 60' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. SSC Napoli needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 65' Philip Billing is ready to make an impact after coming on for Andre Zambo Anguissa at the 65 minute mark.
- 70' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 75' AC Milan are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 80' AC Milan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Luka Jovic is hanging Christian Pulisic on the field on 80 minute.
- 81' The SSC Napoli bench stirs into life. Stanislav Lobotka is withdrawn and Juan Jesus gets his opportunity.
- 84' Magnificent from Luka Jovic! That is 56 goals in 518 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 86' A tactical swap from SSC Napoli — Pasquale Mazzocchi on, Matteo Politano off on 86 minutes.
- 90' It’s gonna be a card for Alex Jimenez.
- It finishes all square. SSC Napoli and AC Milan share the spoils 2-1.
