MILAN --Ismael Bennacer gave AC Milan a 1-0 first-leg advantage in their Champions League quarterfinal against Napoli following a tough defensive battle against the Serie A leaders.
Bennacer's left-foot strike on 40 minutes was the difference between the two teams, but it was a costly night for Napoli who lost midfielder Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa to a sending off in the second-half.
And with city rivals Internazionale winning their first-leg against Benfica in Lisbon on Tuesday, Milan kept alive the prospect of a Milan derby in the semifinals by sealing their win against Napoli.
