Match report: Napoli 2 - Milan 2

  • Goals scored: Inzaghi 2' (See photo above), Pato 6', Cigarini 90', Denis 90+3'
  • What happened: Milan scored twice inside of six minutes. They then became casual and careless. Both sides started committing lots of fouls. Napoli scored twice in the last five minutes-- tie game.
  • Milan players who left the game after ten minutes due to unspecified injuries: Nesta
  • Milan players sent off: Abate
  • Napoli strategy for the first ninety minutes: Appeal for penalties every time you get near the penalty area. Shoot the ball straight at Dida even if he is lying down in front of a wide open goal.
  • Napoli strategy for the last five minutes: Score goals.
  • Number of Milan goals correctly disallowed for offsides: Two-- one by Inzaghi and one by Borriello
  • What this match teaches us: It is not possible to kill off eighty-nine minutes of a game.
