40 minutes: DANG, two HUGE chances for Inter. First, a cross from Icardi from the right finds Jovetic, who smashes his effort at Reina. Kondogbia then goes crazy in the middle, creates a gap with a one-two, resulting bouncing cross finds Perisic's diving header, narrowly out!
30 minutes: WOW!

25 minutes: Napoli are finding great balls to their atacking midfielders. Given a bit of space, Hamsik unleashes a fierce strike from outside the box, forcing Handanovic into a difficult pary.
15 minutes: Napoli are piling on the pressure without creating big chances, Nagatomo is booked for handling the ball, this tweet sums his general technique perfectly:
"He touches it in every way, maybe it was voluntary, maybe not!"Nk - Nagatomo la tocca in tutti i modi, mano compresa. Forse è involontario, forse no, ma si prende il giallo

4 minutes: And Inter are ahead! A great chip into the box, Icardi brings it down beautifully before lobbing Reina. His right foot was, however, slightly offside. He was (almost) kept onside by Elseid Hysaj.
