FULL-TIME. AC MILAN 1-0 NAPOLI. That certainly wasn't the result we expected after the first 20 minutes here, and full credit to Milan for turning things around and then holding onto their lead so wellalthough they would no doubt prefer taking a couple more goals with them to Napoli. The visitors put in a good shift, but they will now be ruing their early missed opportunity to go one up. They fought back well and they're still in it as they look forward to a second leg at homebut they'll be without two of their better players and will have their backs against the wall. Ah well, what more could you want from the Champions League. Thanks for sharing the action with us.
YELLOW CARD, AC MILAN, CALABRIA. Calabria earns himself a yellow card for getting in the face of the referee, no doubt arguing the merits of the penalty call.
YELLOW CARDS. Rrahmani (Napoli) and Saelemaekers (AC Milan) are presented with yellow cards following their close-range discussion of the merits of that penalty appeal.
Ndombl drives forward but is brought down, and Napoli have a free-kickbut Milan win the ball back, push forward and have a crack at goalbut it's straight into Meret's breadbasket.
