Serie A: AC Milan fails to stop SSC Napoli!

Milanese giants lose 2-1 against league leaders Napoli

AC Milan's hopes of catching Serie A leaders SSC Napoli suffered a blow on Sunday as they lost 2-1 at the San Siro.

The defeat leaves Milan seven points behind Napoli, who have now won 11 of their first 13 games of the season.

Milan took the lead through Rafael Leao in the first half, but goals from Giovanni Simeone and Victor Osimhen turned the game in Napoli's favor.

The loss is Milan's third in their last four games, and it increases the pressure on manager Stefano Pioli.

Milan have now failed to win in their last three home games, and they have only won one of their last five matches in all competitions.

In contrast, Napoli's impressive form continues.

The Partenopei have now won their last six games in all competitions, and they are unbeaten in their last 11.

Napoli's victory was their first at the San Siro since 2015, and it was their first victory over Milan in any competition since 2019.

Milan will travel to Roma next Sunday, while Napoli will host Sassuolo on Saturday.
