The holders appeared to be cruising as they led 2-1 on the hour but two quick Napoli goals, the first following a howler from Juve goalkeeper Neto, forced them to resort to time-wasting and gamesmanship in the last 20 minutes. Juve, who will face Lazio in the final, stayed on course for a possible treble as they lead Serie A by six points and have reached the Champions League quarter-finals. By a quirk in the fixture list, it was the teams' second meeting in four days at the San Paolo following Sunday's 1-1 draw in Serie A which Napoli dominated. Marek Hamsik, who scored in Sunday's match, levelled in the 53rd minute only for Higuain to put Juve back in front six minutes later when he turned in Juan Cuadrado's cross. Napoli were left needing four goals and quickly got two of them.
