Milan's advantage was established by Christian Pulisic at the San Siro, precisely on the hour mark, when he forcefully struck a bouncing delivery from Rafael Leao into the net. This marked Pulisic's third goal since his transfer from Chelsea.
Leao had a significant role in Milan's successful acquisition of points in the 88th minute. The Portuguese winger exhibited a burst of speed as he entered the penalty area, subsequently delivering a precise pass to Noah Okafor, who skillfully slid the ball into the net.
Pulisic remarked that there was a considerable amount of pressure exerted by our team, and it was merely a question of time before we managed to create opportunities. Once we successfully capitalized on those opportunities, our performance displayed remarkable strength and prowess. This statement was made by Pulisic during an interview with DAZN.
I have recently joined this community, and I have observed the presence of numerous newcomers. However, I am pleased to note that our collective cohesion is steadily improving. I am thoroughly loving my experience collaborating with the team.
Milan's recent victory, marking their sixth triumph in seven matches, has propelled them to a three-point advantage over their city rivals, Inter. However, it should be noted that Inter has the opportunity to regain the top position by securing a victory against the currently winless Salernitana later in the day on Saturday.
The French goalkeeper, Mike Maignan, made his comeback for Milan following a two-game absence due to a thigh injury he incurred during a goalless draw against Newcastle in the Champions League.
Lazio experienced their fourth loss of the current season, resulting in a descent to the 14th position in the league standings. Their point tally stands at a mere seven points from an equal number of matches played.
Napoli achieved their second triumph within a span of four days, resulting in the ascent of the reigning Italian champions to the third position.
Following a series of three consecutive games without a victory, Rudi Garcia's team has managed to regain some momentum as they approach the upcoming Champions League encounter against Real Madrid, which will take place at their home stadium.
The opening goal of the match was scored by centre-back Leo Ostigard, who headed the ball into the net for Napoli. This marked his first league goal for the club. However, it was not until the arrival of Osimhen after half-time that the visiting team gained dominance over the game.
The Nigerian player acknowledged a cross delivered by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia at the 51st minute, followed by subsequent goals from Gianluca Gaetano and Matteo Politano, ultimately resulting in a decisive victory.
In the second consecutive game, Osimhen relinquished penalty duties to a fellow teammate, while Politano successfully converted from the spot. This decision by Osimhen followed a video uploaded by the club on social media, which derided his previous unsuccessful penalty effort.
Following the issuance of a legal threat by the player's representative, Napoli expressed their intention to clarify that no offense was intended towards Osimhen.
Napoli has narrowed the gap to Inter to just one point, however, they still remain four points behind the league leaders, Milan.
According to Garcia, the match was effectively organized and executed throughout, with a strategic emphasis on launching powerful attacks and securing goals during the initial 15-minute period.
I am pleased for Ostigard, as he demonstrates a consistent focus on the collective objectives of the team.
Garcia expressed his satisfaction with the insights gained during the match in Genoa, where a 2-2 draw occurred on September 16th.
The team's current steadiness can be attributed to the fact that all of our players are returning to their optimal performance levels.
