For a while after Zlatan Ibrahimovic put AC Milan ahead with a penalty kick, Napoli were doing a decent job of pressuring and getting bodies forward. Unfortunately, getting bodies forward was about all of they did, regularly failing to actually turn it into something productive. Based on how terrible they’ve been, it would have been kind of a travesty if Napoli were able to score a goal and get a point out of the game. Thankfully, those concerns have all been put to bed, thanks to an AC Milan goal that doubled their lead.
AC Milan Vs. Napoli: Milan Double Lead Through Pato And Kevin-Prince Boateng
Pato and substitute Kevin-Prince Boateng, who entered for Robinho, were the players who combined for the goal, but a hat tip is deserved for the Napoli defense, who did quite a bit to make it easy on them. Pato was given a ton of space to run onto a long ball, which he took to the left edge of the penalty area. He was then given an outrageous amount of time to sit there and wait for his teammates to come support him. When Boateng came rushing into the box, Pato played him in and Boateng did well to touch the ball into the roof of the net, giving Milan a 2-0 lead.
