It seems to be over, Napoli however is wasteful and in the second half in fact does not take the field. So Milan has a chance to shorten with Gimenez but Meret neutralizes the penalty kicked by the Mexican and procured by Theo for a foul by Billing (69′). In the 84th minute Jovic scored from Theo’s cross but Napoli defended neatly, suffered but brought home three very precious points.
