AC Milan are the first team through to the last four of the Coppa Italia after new boy Krzysztof Piatek starred against Napoli at San Siro.
Match Events
10'GOAL! Milan 1-0 Napoli (Piatek)
PIATEK PUTS MILAN AHEAD! The home side haven't created a lot of chances so far, but a throughball to the forward allows them to get the space they need and he calmly slots the ball under the keeper to find the back of the net. 1-0 Milan.
27'GOAL! Milan 2-0 Napoli (Piatek)
SECOND GOAL FOR PIATEK! He had a lot of time on the ball in the box and the defenders dropped off to give him more space. He cut back and hit a powerful shot that curled round the keeper and into the back of the net. 2-0 Milan!
65' NICE SHOT! Ounas' shot saved
OUNAS COMES CLOSE! He cuts back inside from the right wing to create more space for himself and hits his shot as soon as the defenders drop back away from him. There's a lot of swerve on the shot and Donnarumma dives forward and gets both hands to the ball to deny him.
Match Report
Krzysztof Piatek marked his first AC Milan start by scoring both goals as AC Milan reached the Coppa Italia semi-finals with a 2-0 win over Napoli on Tuesday.
New boy Piatek - signed by the Rossoneri from Genoa to replace the departed Gonzalo Higuain - quickly endeared himself to Milan fans, striking twice in the first half to become an instant hero with the San Siro faithful.
The Poland international had made his debut off the bench in the 0-0 draw between the teams last Saturday, yet his finishing abilities made sure there was no repeat of that Serie A stalemate.

Don't get me wrong, I really like Higuain but between Higuain who has about a year left in him and Piatek, it's obvious who would have been the better choice. For 35 million, that's a steal. Again Chelsea failing to get top targets but I'll put faith in Higauin to master the system as he has before and thrive. Still just makes me mad knowing that Piatek was out there for 35 mil, Werner for 40 mil and we couldn't fork that amount out for them yet forked out 37 million for Drinkwater and pay him 120k a week to come to training then go home 😐😐
