The decisive goal at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium was scored by Matteo Politano in the 79th minute, shortly after entering the game. Antonio Conte’s side are now seven points behind leaders Inter, while Allegri’s Milan are nine points behind.
The second half brought Napoli the initiative, while Milan was unusually passive and mostly defended. The hosts threatened for the first time in the 50th minute, when Giovane shot hard with his left foot, but the goalkeeper Maignan made a great intervention and turned the ball into a corner. The game mostly took place in the guests’ half, but without great opportunities until the very end.
The key moment happened in the 79th minute. The action started from the left side, Olivera crossed, and De Winter passed the ball to the second post where Politano ran. The Italian representative, who entered the game just a few minutes earlier, beat Maignan with a precise volley to the great celebration of the home fans. It was his seventh goal against Milan in his career.
