won 1-0 against Milan in the hit of the 18th round of Serie A. The guests took the lead in the fifth minute. He crossed from a corner towards Eljif Elmas, and the Macedonian took advantage of Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s indecisiveness against Sandro Tonali, defeating Mike Maignan. Thus, Zieliński recorded his fifth assist in the season. He also has five goals on his account. In the match with Milan he also showed a great reception of the ball, which he lost the opponent. Fikayo Tomori ran in the opposite direction and fell over.

Zieliński very often loses rivals in this way. It is safe to write that in this element (receiving the ball and proper body balance) he is one of the top Serie A players.
Milan had the best opportunity to equalize in stoppage time. And although the ball landed in the net, the referee did not recognize the goal. There was a great deal of confusion in Napoli’s penalty area, and Franck Kessie defeated David Ospina with a close-up shot. After the referee’s decision in cooperation with the VAR system, the midfielder’s hit was canceled.
Previously, Olivier Giroud was offside, lying on the ground and making a gentle movement towards the ball, absorbing the attention of Juan Jesus, the visitors’ stopwatch. It was for this reason that the referee did not recognize the goal, but there was no shortage of controversy. “Milan was hurt by VAR, Giroud was lying and did not take part in the action,” reads the daily “La Gazzetta dello Sport”.
Napoli finally won 1-0 and thus moved up to the second place in the table. Inter has four points more.
