David Neres shines in Napoli v Milan, Benfica champion on top form (Video) | OneFootball

Napoli defeated Milan 2-0, securing a place in the final of the Italian Super Cup. David Neres - who recently left a message for the Eagles' fans - stood out in the match held in Saudi Arabia by scoring the opening goal of the game at Al-Awwal Stadium. The Brazilian winger tipped the balance in the transalpine classic, showing that his goal-scoring instincts remain sharp.

David Neres opened the scoring in Napoli - Milan

In the 39th minute, the number 7 was in the right place at the right time to score. Rasmus Højlund delivered a low cross into the box and Mike Maignan, the Rossoneri goalkeeper, failed to hold onto the ball. With the goal completely unguarded, the former Benfica player only had to tap it into the back of the net, breaking the deadlock in a tactical match.

This accurate shot confirms the good form the Brazilian player is experiencing on Italian soil. In his last four official appearances, the Brazilian has recorded one assist and now this decisive goal. The left-footer's influence has been growing in Antonio Conte's choices, gaining prominence in Napoli's attack.

In the 1,115 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the Brazilian has scored four goals and provided four assists.
