Bam, bam, bam! Who can help this poor Milan? What a flop! Good job by Napoli showing determination and returning in the second half to command in San Siro. In the 48th minute there it is the goal by forward Lorenzo Insigne defeating goalkeeper Lopez with a right footed shot in the bottom right corner. The assist is by forward Gonzalo “El Pipita” Higuain. Alarm as Insigne seems to injure while kicking.. but he just got up indicating he can continue….

Party time for Insigne! Far from being injured, Insigne seems more than energized and becoming Milan’s verdugo! Insigne scoring his second goal in this game in the 67th minute. The goal arriving after a free kick following the foul of Milan defender Rodrigo Ely on Gonzalo Higuain. Insigne taking position and there he goes defeating goalkeeper Lopez with his free kick right footed shot in the top left corner. Nothing to do for Lopez, but just total party for Insigne celebrating with teammates.
The final dagger in Milan’s heart arriving in the 77th minute with the own goal by Rodrigo Ely. Ouch! Mamma mia… what else could go wrong for this Milan?
