Italian Cup/ Napoli in the quarterfinals, penalties were needed to eliminate Cagliari

Napoli join Juventus and Atalanta in the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia.

The team led by Antonio Conte in the 1/8 finals eliminated Cagliari to write their name among the top 8 of the competition, defeating them only after a long series of penalties, 9-8, while the regular 90 minutes ended 1-1.

In this match, coach Conte chose to make a big rotation and in the 28th minute Napoli took the lead with a goal from Lucca, but in the 67th minute, Sebastiano Esposito restored balance to the score by equalizing the scores at 1-1.

At this point, Conte threw Neres and Lang onto the field, playing all the cards he had available, while McTominay was also activated earlier.

In the end, the score remained 1-1 and everything was decided after the penalty shootout, where Milinkovic-Savic's save against Luvumbo proved decisive, and this series ended 9-8 for Napoli, who advanced to the quarterfinals, passing the 1/8 finals of the competition for the first time in 5 years.

In the quarterfinals, Napoli will play the winner of the Fiorentina-Como match to be played on January 27, 2026.
