Lorenzo Insigne strike in the first half was originally called offside, but a proper use of VAR showed that he was, in fact, onside so the goal stood.

Already down 1-0, AC Milan are deeply concerned as Suso was forced off at the end of the first half due to injury.

Piotr Zielinski put the match out of reach in the 73rd minute when he slipped behind the defense and calmly put the ball through Donnarumma.
