Siena, Napoli advance
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MILAN, Italy -- Edinson Cavani scored twice to dump Inter Milan out of the Italian Cup on Wednesday as Napoli won 2-0 to progress to a semifinal against Siena.
Cavani converted a penalty in the 50th minute after being tripped by Thiago Motta in what could very well be the Brazilian's last game for Inter. The Argentine sealed the result in the stoppage time.
Inter had a decent penalty claim of its own turned down when Diego Milito was brought down by Christian Maggio. It is the first time since 2003 that Inter has not made the semifinals.
Napoli will meet Siena after the Serie A struggler reached the semifinals for the first time by winning 1-0 at Chievo Verona despite having a player sent off.
Substitute striker Mattia Destro scored in the 54th minute. Paolo Grossi was dismissed six minutes later.
