Rasmus Hojlund showcased his remarkable talent as Napoli overcame AC Milan 2-0 in the semi-finals of the Italian Super Cup on Thursday. The Danish striker was instrumental, contributing to both goals and solidifying his status as a rising star in Italian football.
Hojlund played a pivotal role in the opening goal, providing an assist to David Neres in the 39th minute. He charged down the left flank before delivering a precise cutback, allowing Neres to tap the ball into the net despite Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan’s efforts to intervene.
Following the break, Hojlund struck again, this time doubling Napoli’s advantage in the 64th minute. After muscling his way into the penalty area, he fired a powerful shot from a tight angle, leaving Maignan with no chance to save and effectively sealing the victory for Napoli.
With this impressive win, Napoli now prepares to meet the winner of the upcoming semi-final clash between Inter Milan and Bologna in the Italian Super Cup final scheduled for Monday. Hojlund’s standout performance not only highlights his skills but also raises expectations for Napoli’s potential in the tournament, setting a promising tone for their future matches.
