Napoli Vs. Juventus: It’s Edinson Cavani, Again, And It’s Not Even The 90th Minute

Just eight minutes after scoring his first goal of the match, Edinson Cavani has bagged a brace for the home side, with yet another header. Andrea Dossena, making up for his earlier errors down the left wing, sent in a beautiful cross for Cavani, with the Uruguayan easily climbing over his defender to head the ball into the net. How many more does Cavani have in him?

Napoli certainly aren't through yet, continuing to press forward toward the Juventus goal. But after falling 4-1 to Parma last week, The Old Lady are desperate to find a win and climb back up out of fifth place. The visitors are taking their share of the chances, but for the most part Morgan De Sanctis and his three defenders are up to the challenge.

Still, after AC Milan came back twice earlier today, finally finishing 4-4 against Udinese, Napoli should take care to make sure they aren’t making the same mistakes. The partenopei don’t tend to stop their attack for anything, but they’re also not used to being ahead before the 30th minute.
