Coppa Italia: Inter Milan 0-1 Napoli

Over football news, Napoli have shocked Serie A leaders, Inter Milan, 1-nil in their Italian Cup semi-final 1st leg tie at San Siro.

Inter had the greater share of possession in the 1st half, but failed to create any clear cut chances. They could have even fallen behind just before the break, if their goalkeeper Daniele Padelli had not rushed off his line, to deny Dries Mertens from a tight angle.

The hosts also had the brighter start to the 2nd period, but failed to translate their dominance into goals. They were ultimately made to pay, just short of the hour mark, when Spanish midfielder Fabian Ruiz unleashed a stunner into the left corner.

That strike proved the difference between the 2 sides as Napoli take a slim advantage into the return leg at their Stadio San Paolo on the 5th of March. Juventus host AC Milan in the other semi-final on Thursday.
