Milan beat Napoli to become leader of Serie A in Italy

The Rossoneri, sole leaders, they are now three points ahead of Napolinow third, after starting the day first, due to the victory of Inter (2nd) by 5-0 on Friday over Salernitana (20th and last).

But Stefano Pioli’s men they are just two points ahead of their neighbors Inter, who have one game less, to be rescheduled against Bologna.

In a close game, poor in shots on goal, the only goal of the game at the Diego Maradona stadium came from a poorly executed long-range free kick: an uninspired shot from Milan right-back Davide Calabria turned into a gift for Olivier Giroud, who diverted it to the networks of Colombian David Ospina (49).

A lucky goal for the French world champion, the eighth in his account of the season in Serie A, which was close to leaving his place after the first period.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic warmed up for a long time at half-time to replace the Les Bleus striker, the victim of a blow to his left ankle after a tackle by Senegalese Kalidou Koulibaly (25).

But Olivier Giroud would only leave his place to the Croatian Ante Rebic (68) due to a sprain in the other ankle.

For its part, Juventus won their fourteenth consecutive match without defeat by beating La Spezia (16th) with difficulty at home, 1-0, with a goal from the Spaniard Álvaro Morata (21), a result that allows him to consolidate his fourth place.

With 53 points, the Turinese have a six advantage over Atalanta de Bergamowho have one game in hand, and are four behind Napoli and seven behind AC Milan.
