MILAN.- Napoli won 1-0 at San Siro against Milan thanks to a goal by Macedonian Eljf Elmas, in a match of the eighteenth round of Serie A ended with controversy due to a goal disallowed against the Milan team in time added.
The Mexican Hirving Lozano had some offensive plays during the 76 minutes that he played in the Neapolitan victory.
After the lead signed by Elmas at six minutes, Milan got the equalizer in 91 thanks to the Ivorian Frank Kessie, but the referee Davide Massa annulled it after checking it on the screen at the foot of the field for an active offside of French Olivier Giroud.
There was great controversy as Giroud was lying on the ground after a collision with Brazilian Juan Jesus and seemed not to have participated in the action that led to Kessie’s goal.

The target was annulled and allowed Napoli to rediscover the victory three days later, in which they only added one point.
The victory of Luciano Spalletti’s men, who competed with an eleven plagued by injuries, led by the Spanish Fabián Ruiz, the Senegalese Kalidou Koulibaly, the Nigerian Victor Osimhen or the captain Lorenzo Insigne, made Inter Milan the winter champion.
The Milanese team, which overwhelmed Salernitana 5-0, has a four-point lead over Napoli with one match left to finish the first round.
