"As AC Milan were preparing for a game against Atalanta, pictures came through of a distraught Francesco Camarda from over 1,000km away. As La Gazzetta dello Sport report, Camarda will naturally wonder how the game against the champions Napoli could have ended if he had taken his chance from the penalty spot. It happens to the best, of course, so there is no use criticising someone who hasn't even turned 18."
"Di Francesco chose to start Camarda over Stulic. His first half was difficult, especially in the early stages when supplies were lacking. He still managed to carve out some space to attempt a shot, which went wide. The big chance came early in the second half. Juan Jesus's handball was deemed a penalty, but from the spot, Milinkovic-Savic guessed the direction of the shot. It was to the goalkeeper's right, not too angled and not too hard, against one of the best spot kick stoppers in Europe."
Francesco Camarda, 17, was pictured distraught more than 1,000km from AC Milan after a missed penalty in Napoli's 1-0 win. Camarda started ahead of Stulic but struggled in the first half, managing one wide shot. The decisive chance came early in the second half when Juan Jesus's handball led to a penalty; Vanja Milinković-Savić guessed the direction and saved Camarda's spot kick, which was aimed to the goalkeeper's right and not struck with power. After Anguissa's goal gave Antonio Conte's side the lead, Di Francesco substituted Stulic on for Camarda. Camarda was seen teary-eyed on the bench, with time remaining to put things right.
