    • FT There it is, the final whistle, and Napoli have beaten Juventus 2-1 at home
    • 90+2 A shocking miss from Lavezzi, who tries to chip the ball over the approaching Manninger's head. But the Napoli striker pushes his ball wide of the right post
    • 85' Grygera brings down Lavezzi on the edge of the area and is the latest player to receive a yellow card
    • 80' GOAL NAPOLI! The hosts take the lead thanks to Lavezzi, who skips past one tackle before beating the keeper in a little game of one-on-one!
    • 75' Juve have changed their formation after a raft of substitutions force them to play 4-4-1-1 with Nedved pushing up to assist Amauri
    • 66' Salihamidzic is booked for his over-zealous challenge on Lavezzi
    • 64' GOAL NAPOLI! Hamsik has looked threatening all night, particularly with his head, and he finally gets his reward connecting with Lavezzi's cross and heading home at the far post
    • 63' Cannavaro is going off with an injury to his right leg, sustained while he was trying to prevent that goal
    • 61' GOAL JUVE!! Poulsen makes a run down the left wing before whipping in a cross to the waiting Amauri, who volleys home with his right foot
    • 60' Blasi is booked for a challenge on Amauri
    • 59' Maggio runs into the box down the right hand side before trying to get a shot in but he left it a little too late and Manninger is there to collect the ball and avert the danger
    • 54' Both Knezevic and Poulsen fail to pick up Lavezzi and Juve are in all manner of trouble at the back until Molinaro steps in to clear up the mess
    • 52' Maggio continues to wreak havoc up front for Napoli forcing Molinaro to step in and clear the danger for Juve
    • 50' Marchisio will a free kick 30m out ... but he fires high as well and the ball whizzes over the crossbar
    • 49' Substitute Mannini tries his luck from distance but he fails to draw a save from Manninger, firing over the crossbar
    • 46' Back underway at San Paolo ...
    • 45' There is the half time whistle and will are still goal-less at San Paolo
    • 45' Another free kick for the visitors but this one, again from Del Piero, is narrowly off target although Iezzo was sufficiently worried about it to dive across to his right to cover his goal
    • 44' Gargano is shown a yellow for his two-footed challenge on Del Piero
    • 44' Nedved is the latest Juve player to force Iezzo into a diving save this time from a header
    • 41' Napoli really are looking dangerous on the attack and Grygera does well to clear the danger as a scrap occurs inside the area
    • 39' Vitale tries his luck but Manninger is wise to the chance and produces a diving save
    • 37' Del Piero unleashes a bullet from the free-kick forcing Iezzo to turn the ball over the crossbar by his fingertips
    • 36' Amauri draws a foul from the Napoli defence as he breaks on the counter and this will be a free kick in a very dangerous area
    • 35' Grygera this time is the Juve defender that is required to clear the danger as Maggio attempts to find Hamsik. Juve concede the corner but Napoli fail to do anything with their opportunity
    • 34' Lavezzi whips a cross in from the left wing meant for Hamsik but it never reaches him as Chiellini clears the danger for Juve
    • 33' Molinaro receives a yellow card for his challenge on Maggio
    • 31' Maggio is running riot down the right hand wing as he again whips a cross into the area. This time though there is no-one waiting for the ball and another chance goes begging for Napoli
    • 26' Manninger is very nearly caught out for Juve when he fails to collect Hamsik's bouncing header first time. His full-back shephards the ball into his care though and Juve escape
    • 25' Poulsen is shown the first yellow of the day after he bring Gargano down with both feet
    • 23' Del Piero whips a great cross in from the left across the front of goal but Amauri's header is a poor one and the chance goes begging
    • 18' Del Piero goes down like a sack of bricks after a tame challenge Gargano. Fittingly he fails to earn a free kick
    • 12' After a slightly shaky opening few minutes Juve are beginning to keep Napoli pinned back into their own half as Molinaro's through ball is only just cut out by Cannavaro
    • 8' Salihamidzic's header from the centre of the box, following Del Piero's cross, goes astray for Juve as they apply their first real pressure of the game
    • 6' Napoli with the first real chance of the game as Hamsik absolutely skies his shot from the right of the penalty spot despite being unmarked after receiving the ball from Maggio
    • 5' An even start to the match with both sides standing strong in defence
    • 1' Napoli get the match underway ...
