Hojlund fires Napoli into Italian Super Cup final

Rasmus Hojlund was on target as Napoli booked their place in the Italian Super Cup final with a comfortable win over AC Milan in Riyadh.

David Neres opened the scoring just before half-time after capitalising on Hojlund’s parried cut-back, before the former Manchester United striker sealed the victory with a powerful finish midway through the second half.

Napoli will now face either Bologna or Inter Milan in Monday’s final, as they chase a third Super Cup crown and their first since 2014.

Napoli captain Giovanni di Lorenzo said the team delivered a “big performance” and described the win as an important boost after last weekend’s league setback.
