Napoli Secures Supercoppa Final Berth with Clinical Victory in Riyadh
Score808 - Napoli has become the first finalist of the 2025 Supercoppa Italiana following a commanding 2-0 semi-final triumph over AC Milan in Riyadh. Antonio Conte’s side showcased superior tactical discipline, dictating the flow of the match from the opening whistle against a disjointed Rossoneri outfit.
While star striker Romelu Lukaku remained on the bench as an injury precaution, the Partenopei attack remained remarkably potent. David Neres broke the deadlock late in the first half, slotting into an empty net after a perfectly weighted through ball from the industrious Rasmus Højlund.
Højlund transitioned from provider to executioner in the 63rd minute to effectively put the contest out of reach. The Danish powerhouse outmuscled defender Koni De Winter before rifling a spectacular diagonal strike into the bottom corner, leaving Mike Maignan with no chance.
Despite several tactical substitutions from Massimiliano Allegri, Milan lacked the creative spark usually provided by the absent Rafael Leão. This clinical performance successfully avenges Napoli’s recent league defeat and propels them into Monday's grand final against either Inter Milan or Bologna.
