Brahim Diaz Ignites a First-Leg Victory for AC Milan Over Naïve Napoli in the Champions League Quarterfinal

Posted : 18 April 2023
Napoli now leads Serie A by 16 points, but on Wednesday they were once again outwitted by AC Milan, who made them to settle for long-range, low-probability efforts while frequently coming back on the counter-attack with better opportunities.

Rafael Leao should have issued a strong warning with his weaving move from midfield into the opposition area, which resulted in a left-footed attempt that drifted just wide.

Instead, Napoli let Brahim Diaz take the ball unhindered halfway across the field, setting up Ismael Bennacer's first European goal of his career.
When Simon Kjaer slammed a close-range header against the crossbar just before halftime, they were fortunate to avoid falling further behind.

It became much harder for Napoli to win without their leading scorer Victor Osimhen when midfielder Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa was given a second caution in the 74th minute for a foul on Theo Hernandez during another counterattack.

Mike Maignan, the goalie for AC Milan, had to make a last-second fingertip save from a shot by Giovanni Di Lorenzo but otherwise was not put to the test in the closing minutes.
