Napoli beat Milan 2-0 in the first Supercoppa Italiana semi-final to reach the final, securing a chance to win this trophy for the first time since 2014.
Antonio Conte’s side avenged a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat in Serie A earlier this season.
Milan started on the front foot, as Vanja Milinkovic-Savic had to pull off a massive leg save to deny Ruben Loftus-Cheek from point-blank range.
However, after weathering the early storm, Napoli assumed control of proceedings before drawing first blood through David Neres.
Rasmus Hojlund sent in a low cross that found the Brazilian on the edge of the six-yard box.
Mike Maignan’s poor reaction allowed the diminutive winger to tap the ball into an empty net and put Napoli in front at halftime. Things went from bad to worse for the Rossoneri at the start of the second half.
Hojlund shifted from playing the role of a provider to leading the line as a scorer.
Indeed, the Danish striker was too hot to handle for Koni De Winter before beating Maignan with a thumping finish.
Faced with a two-goal deficit, Milan showed little ambition to turn things around, allowing Napoli to see out the contest with relative comfort.
