Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Napoli, 1st position with 12 points and a positive goal difference of +6
AC Milan, 3rd position with 9 points and a positive goal difference of +5
✅ The battle is on! AC Milan vs Napoli dueling to win the Serie A Week 5 game on Sunday 28 September 2025 at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy. AC Milan enters this match following a 3-0 victory in the Coppa Italia over Lecce, allowing the Rossoneri to progress to the round of 16 where they will compete against Lazio. Most importantly, Allegri's AC Milan is currently enjoying a three-game winning streak in the league, having triumphed over Lecce, Bologna, and Udinese, scoring six goals without conceding any.
On the other hand, Napoli remains the only team in our league with an unblemished record. Antonio Conte's squad has accumulated 12 points from four matches, defeating Sassuolo, Cagliari, Fiorentina, and Pisa in that order. However, it should be noted that the Azzurri have faced significant challenges in their home games, narrowly securing victories against both the Sardinians and Tuscans.
What a quick beginning! AC Milan took the lead just 3 minutes in. Alexis Saelemaekers netted a goal with a right-footed shot aimed at the center. The assist came from Christian Pulisic. Look at Pulisic go, racing down the left side, outpacing Marianucci, and no one can catch him. He then sets up Saelemaekers, who finishes at the far post. Napoli's goalkeeper Alex Meret had no chance.

Milan increased their advantage in the 31st minute. Napoli are left astonished. Christian Pulisic, known as "Captain America," found the net with a right-footed shot to the upper center. The assist came from Youssouf Fofana. Pavlovic made a run and passed to Fofana in the center, who then delivered the ball to Pulisic, allowing him to break in and score past Meret. Juan Jesus attempted a backheel, but it was Pulisic's goal and Fofana's assist that counted. Bam! You can bet San Siro is celebrating!



🟥 Red Card: 57th minute. Unfortunately, there's bad news. AC Milan is now down to 10 players. Pervis Estupinan received a red card after committing a foul on Giovanni Di Lorenzo, which led to a penalty for Napoli.

Napoli closed the gap in the 60th minute. Kevin De Bruyne successfully converted a penalty with a right-footed shot. The penalty was awarded after Pervis Estupiñán fouled Giovanni Di Lorenzo in the box. The match regained its momentum when De Bruyne outsmarted Maignan from the penalty spot, sending him the wrong way. Milan found themselves with 10 players after Estupiñán received a red card.
