Coppa Italia: Napoli 0-2 Inter NAPLES – The Nerazzurri began with a 4-2-3-1 for their Coppa Italia quarter-final knockout tie at the San Paolo. Jovetic led the line ahead of the trio of Biabiany, Ljajic and Perisic. Napoli decided to leave out Serie A’s leading marksman Gonzalo Higuain, opting instead for Gabbiadini.
Five minutes in, Perisic found space down the left and crossed low but Reina collected the ball. A few seconds later Mertens tried unsuccessfully to catch out Handanovic from the halfway line. The match didn’t get going, with Napoli failing to break into the Inter final third, while the Nerazzurri saw breaks from Biabiany and Perisic stifled.
On 13 minutes, Mertens rifled in a shot but Handanovic pushed the ball to safety. Five minutes later, Jovetic found Ljajic in the box whose effort was well blocked by Strinic. Inter continued to press high and midway through the first half Jovetic escaped Koulibaly and found Kondogbia on the edge of the box: the Frenchman’s effort with his left was deflected as far as Nagatomo. Napoli then threatened Handanovic’s goal a couple of minutes later, when Strinic cut the ball back for Callejon. Once again Inter’s number one got down sharply.
