THERE ARE NO HIGHLIGHTS OR FOOTAGE HERE!! THIS IS ONLY MY REVIEW!! Miguel Angel Britos and Gonzalo Higuain scored goals for Napoli, while Pepe Reina was amazing in goal for the Azzurri to help the Partenopei defeat AC Milan at the San Siro in a huge match for the first time since 1986! Napoli started the match off on fire and were doing very well on the offensive side in the first 15 minutes of the match. Miguel Angel Britos scored a header passed Abbiati in the 6' from a Raul Albiol assist. Soon after Gonzalo Higuain had a great chance from a Milan defensive error, but missed the net barely. After the first 15 minutes, Milan settled down. They took control of the possession and created many chances throughout the whole game. They were precise with the ball in passing and won many tackles against Napoli. Napoli started to look sloppy with the ball and had some horrid first touches. The first half ended 1-0 in favor of Napoli. The second half initiated and Napoli needed another goal to ensure themselves they can close off the match. After struggling to get a good passing game going in the midfield in the first half, they had the same issue in the second. However, in the 52' Gonzalo Higuain had the ball and drove in a shot while falling that got passed Abbiati even though he had gotten a hand on it, giving Napoli and huge 2nd goal. It was a great goal by Il Pipita. Napoli was up 2-0, but Milan was not out of it. Pepe Reina was the man of the match for Napoli and saved them throughout the 2nd half. Mario Balotelli was able to draw a penalty kick and coming into today's game, he had never missed. "Super" Mario stepped up and took the shot, but Pepe Reina made the save! Balotelli missed the penalty for the first time ever in his career! Reina came up big for Napoli and would secure the ball whenever he had to and clear any danger. As the match went on, Napoli still was sloppy with the ball while Milan created chances. In the 91', with 3 minutes of stoppage time added onto the match, Mario Balotelli was able to score a curling shot passed Reina. It was too late though as Napoli was able to hold onto the 2-1 lead and take another 3 points home! They still stand atop the Italia Serie A table with 12 points with Roma!
