The great record victory of Conte in series A

Napoli assured a 2-1 crucial victory over AC Milan in Stadio Diego Armando Maradona to move three points from the top of the series A.

The objectives of the first half of Matteo Politano and Romelu Lukaku proved to be enough for Antonio Conte’s team, despite Luka Jovic’s late attack giving Rossoneri Esperanza.

Conte could not have asked for a better start, with his team finding the network just two minutes from the game. Giovanni Di Lorenzo came forward from his right -sidelped position and delivered a pass to Politano, who timed his career perfectly before finishing beyond Mike Maignan.

Milan, struggling to answer, he found himself further back in the 19th minute. Billy Gilmour showed his vision with an excellent defense division pass to Lukaku, who showed a great composure to lift the ball over the advantage of Maignan and Double Napoli.

Visitors made changes in part -time, with Rafael Leao in an attempt to provoke their attack. The movement paid dividends when Milan began to create opportunities.

His best opportunity came in the 69th minute when Leao combined with Theo Hernández, attracting a foul in the Philip Billing penalty area. Santiago Giménez took a step forward to take the target shot, but Alex Meret produced an impressive salvation to keep intact the two -goal advantage of Napoli.

Milan refused to go back and finally found an advance in the 84th minute. Hernández, influential on the left flank, delivered a low crossing in the six -yard box, where Jovic reacted faster to direct the ball to the network.

When the party entered the detention time, Milan continued to threaten. Leao was very involved, drawing a lack of Di Lorenzo in a dangerous position, but the resulting free kick was well defended.

Chukwueze had a late shot blocked, and despite overcoming his opponents in the expected goals (2.69 to 0.96), Milan could not find the second crucial goal.

The victory ensures that Napoli remains secondly in series A, Milan, meanwhile, will remain in ninth and will quickly have to change his focus on his clash of semifinals from Coppa Italy against Inter on Wednesday before a meeting with Fiorentina on Saturday.
