"AC Milan's time in Saudi Arabia was cut short by Napoli, as they prevailed in Thursday night's Supercoppa Italiana semi-final. Napoli scored not long before the half-time interval as David Neres bundled in a square ball from Rasmus Hojlund, and then the Dane turned from provider to scorer just after the hour mark, spinning Koni De Winter and firing in from a narrow angle."
"Let's just start off by saying that Mike Maignan has generally been really good this season ,and Milan would not have been just one point off Inter if it weren't for some superb saves by the goalkeeper. However, against Napoli, we saw a completely different Maignan for the wrong reasons. He could've done much better on both goals if we're being honest and given the standards he himself has set this season both of Napoli's goals should've been saved by the Frenchman."
"Koni De Winter got to start the game in the absence of Gabbia but failed to seize the moment, and was bullied by Hojlund.

Napoli beat AC Milan 2-0 in the Supercoppa Italiana semi-final in Saudi Arabia. David Neres scored just before half-time by bundling in a square ball from Rasmus Hojlund, and Hojlund added a second after the hour by spinning Koni De Winter and firing in from a narrow angle. The win avenged Napoli's earlier league defeat at San Siro. Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan had an unusually poor game and might have saved both goals. Koni De Winter struggled defensively against Hojlund. Tensions flared between the technical areas and doubts grew about Milan's readiness to challenge for the title, leaving only Serie A to focus on.
