"AC Milan's Supercoppa Italiana defence was halted at the first hurdle as they lost 2-0 to Napoli at the King Saud University Stadium. Napoli scored a goal in each half to book their place in Monday's final against the winners of Bologna versus Inter. The first came from David Neres late in the first half, and the second came from Rasmus Hojlund early in the second half."
"On both goals Koni De Winter and Mike Maignan did not cover themselves in any glory in what was a bad night at the office for Massimiliano Allegri's side. Now, there is only Serie A to focus on, but doubts will once again have grown about how ready this team are. Massimiliano Allegri made three changes to the starting line-up from the team that drew with Sassuolo on Sunday."
Napoli defeated AC Milan 2-0 at King Saud University Stadium to reach the Supercoppa Italiana final. David Neres scored late in the first half and Rasmus Hojlund added a second early in the second half. Defensive mistakes by Koni De Winter and goalkeeper Mike Maignan contributed directly to both goals. Massimiliano Allegri made three changes to the starting lineup because of injury, rest and a flexor issue. Napoli started aggressively and forced early turnovers, while Milan created moments of danger including a close-range opportunity for Ruben Loftus-Cheek. The result shifts Milan's focus back to Serie A amid renewed readiness concerns.
