Napoli Vs. Milan, 2011 Serie A: Alberto Aquilani For Milan, Edinson Cavani For Napoli Makes It 1-1

It's been just twelve minutes and a goal has already been scored at fortress San Paolo, with visitors AC Milan taking the lead against Napoli. The rossoneri had been poring on the pressure for the first ten minutes, but it appeared that the organized Napoli defense would be able to cope with the onslaught. But there was nothing stopping Alberto Aquilani from scoring his first goal for Milan. Antonio Cassano sent in a beautiful cross, which Aquilani dove to meet, his perfectly placed header flying past Morgan De Sanctis and into the back of the net.

Less than a minute later, the Napoli response came. Christian Maggio got under a free kick into the Milan box, heading it across to fall to Edinson Cavani, who then nutmegged goalkeeper Christian Abiatti -- his second nutmeg of the week, as that was exactly how he scored against Manchester City in their Champions League tie.
