Italian Cup: Juve wins, Naples protests

Italian Cup: Juve wins, Naples protests

Napoli are not about to lose and protest for the arbitration but the result of the first round of the semi-final of the Coppa Italia proves Juve right once again.

Allegri had initially returned to the old formation by fielding Juve with a 3-5-2 formation and Napoli took advantage of this by putting the black and whites in difficulty and taking the lead in the first half with a goal from Callejon that burned Asamoah.

But in the second half, Juve returned to the super offensive form with the insertion of Cuadrado and overturned the result also thanks to two penalties that infuriated Napoli. Dybala obtained the first one who also converted him and then scored the second penalty which set the score at 3 to 1.

Between the two penalties Juve also got a goal from the former Higuain who took advantage of a bad exit from Reina and slipped through the door without cheering, causing Napoli to review the nightmare of Madrid.

With this success, Juve mortgages access to the Italian Cup final even if Napoli will try to sell their skin dearly on return
