    Time:90'
    • Napoli
    • Bologna
    • 90+1 It's all over. 4-1 the score. Napoli fully deserving of the three points
    • 90' One minute of added time to be played.
    • 87' 4-1 looks to be the final scoreline in this one.
    • 84' Napoli enjoying the position of comfort they find themselves in
    • 82' Bologna showing some heart here, continuing to launch attacks. Granted they are lacking in substance.
    • 80' Ten minutes to go here and Napoli look to have the points wrapped up.
    • 78' Extravagant back pass from Napoli's Santacroce keeps De Sanctis on his toes.
    • 76' The referee unimpressed as Di Vaio takes a theatrical tumble in the box.
    • 75' Job done it would seem for Cavani as he is withdrawn from proceedings. Raffaele Maiello on to make his second Serie A appearance.
    • 74' Cavani joins Samuel Eto'o at the top of the Serie A scoring list with that goal.
    • 73' GOAL FOR NAPOLI! 4-1! Consider that bridge out of reach as Cavani adds his name to the scoresheet with a neat finish after good work from Sosa had set up the chance.
    • 71' Is this a bridge too far for Bologna who have themselves a life line in that goal from Maggiorini.?
    • 69' Siligardi continuing to threaten with a shot from distance but it is hit straight at De Sanctis who swallows it up gratefully.
    • 68' Now where did that come from. Do we finally have a game on our hands?
    • 67' GOAL FOR BOLOGNA! 3-1! the visitors get one back. Riccardo Meggiorini gets on the end of a far post cross to head past De Sanctis.
    • 65' Siligardi has added much needed attacking intent to the bologna team in this second half but his efforts have all been in vain thus far.
    • 63' Bologna opting to make their third and final change. Vangelis Moras replacing the injured Daniele Portanova.
    • 61' There was in fact a double substitution from Bologna at the break. Henry Gimenez the man not to emerge from half time break. Riccardo Meggiorini his replacement.
    • 59' at 3-0, Napoli can afford to take precautions with that withdrawal of two goal hero Hamsik who looked to have shaken off the worst of his injury.
    • 58' In the blink of an eye, Bologna go close at the other end. Francesco Della Rocca with the chance but he sends his header wide of goal from 10 yards out.
    • 57' Sosa straight into the action with a neat through ball into the path of Lavezzi who finds the side netting with a stinging left foot shot.
    • 56' Substitution for Napoli. Hamsik is withdrawn, José Ernesto Sosa his replacement.

    • 54' A well struck dipping volley from Lavezzi brushes the top of the Bologna crossbar.
    • 53' Signs of life on the Napoli substitutes' bench. A change is imminent.
    • 51' Napoli goalkeeper Morgan De Sanctis is finally introduced to the game as Siligardi unleashes a powerful low drive from distance. Good save.
    • 50' More injury concerns for Napoli. Hamsik it is this time receiving treatement on the sidelines.
    • 49' Cavani looks desperate to add his name to the scoresheet with another good effort. Viviano again drawn into making a save.
    • 48' GOAL FOR NAPOLI! 3-0! From the resulting corner Hamsik it is again who finds the back of the net, creeping in at the far post to prod into an empty net.
    • 47' Napoli quickest out of the blocks again as Cavani twists and turns on the edge of the penalty area to create a shooting opportunity and Viviano does well to tip it wide of the post.
    • 46' The second half is under way.
    • 45' Half time substitution for Bologna. Luca Siligardi replacing Gyorgy Garics.
    • 45+2 The half time whistle is blown. Napoli 2-0 Bologna
    • 45' Lavezzi looking to add a third goal for his side before the break with a penetrating run into the box but he blazes over.
    • 44' Back in action and the pictures have returned. The rain is really coming down now...possible explanation for the breaks in transmission.
    • 43' Free kick goes Bologna's way and we've lost contact again!
    • 42' The score remains 2-0 at the Stadio San Paolo
    • 41' And we're back. Not sure what that was about. Apologies come from the broadcasters.
    • 39' An unexplained break in transmission...back as soon as possible with any luck
    • 38' On second look, Lavezzi might have a claim on that goal too. Not that he knew anything about it.
    • 36' Napoli finally have their two goal advantage. Hamsik is happy to claim that one after a decisive deflection off a Bologna leg.
    • 35' GOAL FOR NAPOLI! 2-0! Cavani bullies his way to the byline before squaring the ball for Hamsik whose left foot shot takes a deflection en route to goal.
    • 34' Bologna seemingly in a suicidal mood after two woeful displays of defending. Napoli should have made them pay.
    • 33' Hero to zero in under a minute for the Bologna goalkeeper as his weak pass is intercepted by Cavani, he tees up Lavezzil whose delicate chip is saved.
    • 32' Horrible defensive error from Rubin almost allows Cavani to double Napoli's advantage but Viviano comes to Bologna's rescue
    • 31' The heavens really opening over Naples now.
    • 30' Victory tonight will lift Napoli back into third place in the Serie A table behind AC Milan and Lazio.
    • 29' Sloppy defending from Santacroce almost gifts Bologna an opening but the home side have sufficient numbers in defence to recover.
    • 28' The answer is a resounding no as Napoli clear.
    • 27' Can Bologna reignite the flame with this corner kick?
    • 26' It has been a very tame opening 26 minutes. Napoli's early opener has seemingly poured cold water on a potentially simmering encounter.
    • 24' First glimpse of Marek Hamsik tonight as he sends a dangerous looking cross to the far post but there is no one to meet it.
    • 23' Lavezzi runs at the Bologna defence and looks for the far corner with a curling effort but gets it narrowly wrong and the ball sails wide of the target.
    • 22' Cannavaro's remarkable recovery proves to be short lived as Napoli are forced into making their first substitution of the evening. Sanchez Emilson Cribari is introduced.
    • 20' A scene you are unlikely to see in England for the forseeable future in these post Steve McLaren days...umbrellas in the technical area. Who's the wally now?
    • 19' No need to panic though as Cannavaro is soon waved back on to the field of play.
    • 18' Napoli captain Paolo Cannavaro looks to be struggling with an injury. A substitute is readied and the home side are temporarily down to ten men.
    • 17' Cavani proving his defensive capabilities with an expertly timed sliding challenge.
    • 16' Maggio is penalised for a shove on Matteo Rubin and Bologna have a free kick in their own half.
    • 15' Bologna failing to dazzle as of yet...unlike their kit which is a shocking/nauseating shade of yellow.
    • 14' Lavezzi looking dangerous once more, on the opposite flank on this occasion but his cross takes a huge deflection and loops into the arms of the Bologna goalkeeper.
    • 12' Cavani collects the loose ball on the right and cuts inside on to his left foot but his shot is weak and Viviano smothers with ease.
    • 11' And then that elusive attack comes through Ezequiel Lavezzi who sends a low ball across the six yard box but no team mate is there to tap into the net.
    • 10' After such a promising start, the home side have since failed to test the Bologna defence
    • 8' Goalscorer Maggio has now scored in three consecutive matches against Bologna at the Stadio San Paolo
    • 7' Fabiano Santacroce brings Di Vaio crashing to the ground on the Bologna left wing for a free kick in a threatening position. Di Vaio brushes himself down to take the kick himself but wastes it.
    • 6' Napoli happy to let their visitors pass the ball around aimlessly in their own half for now. No sign of a meaningful attack yet.
    • 5' Bologna will be looking to their talismanic captain and top scorer this season Marco Di Vaio to dig them out of the hole they already find themselves in here.
    • 4' Bologna enjoy their first foray into the Napoli half after that early setback. They have themselves a tough task now.
    • 3' GOAL FOR NAPOLI! 1-0! Christian Maggio towers in a header from a Napoli corner to give the home side a dream start to this game.
    • 3' Swiftly followed by the first effort on goal. Napoli's Edinsno Cavani with a 20 yard strike that draws Emiliano Viviano into a save.
    • 2' First foul of the match commited by Napoli left back Andrea Dossena.
    • 1' First half kick off at the Stadio San Paolo. Bologna get the game under way kicking from left to right.
    • 19:40 And the visitors, Bologna: Emiliano Viviano, Daniele Portanova, Miguel Britos, Matteo Rubin, Gyorgy Garics, Rene Krhin, Albin Ekdal, Francesco Della Rocca, Marco Di Vaio, Henry Gimenez, Antonio Busce
    • 19:35 Tonight's starting line ups. Our hosts Napoli: Morgan de Sanctis, Paolo Cannavaro, Hugo Campagnero, Gianluca Grava, Michele Pazienza, Walter Gargano, Andrea Dossena, Christian Maggio, Edinson Cavani, Ezequiel Lavezzi, Marek Hamsik
