Milan Suffers Late Defeat at Napoli

AC Milan suffered a heartbreaking 1-0 defeat to Napoli at the Maradona Stadium, conceding a late winner by Politano that dropped them to third in the Serie A table.

The Rossoneri looked more committed in the first half but couldn't find the breakthrough, with chances from Fofana and Pavlović going begging. After the break, Napoli grew more active and capitalized on a lapse in concentration, with Politano sealing the victory late in the match.

This is Milan's second consecutive away defeat following their loss to Lazio, and they've now failed to score in both matches. The result leaves them on 63 points, two behind Napoli and nine adrift of the league leaders, making Champions League qualification increasingly uncertain.
