Napoli’s Senegalese defender Kalidou Koulibaly works around Inter Milan’s Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku during the Italian Cup semi-final second leg football match Napoli vs Inter Milan on June 13, 2020. Filippo MONTEFORTE / AFPDries Mertens fired Napoli to the Italian Cup final on Saturday after netting the goal which gave his side a 2-1 aggregate semi-final win over Inter Milan and made him the club’s all-time top scorer.
Christian Eriksen had levelled the tie for Inter straight from a corner in the second minute and the away side continued to dominate the first half, but Mertens ended a lightning counter-attack to put the hosts through at the Stadio San Paolo. Although there were no fans in the stands at the San Paolo, public broadcaster RAI reported that a small number of Napoli fans that had gathered outside the San Paolo set off fireworks throughout half-time in celebration of Merten’s goal.
