    FULL-TIME: Superb display from Napoli - they take a convincing scoreline from a close game thanks to clinical finishing and disciplined defending. They rode their luck with the disallowed goal from Toni, but the visitors could not claim to have deserved anything from the game. Napoli second!

    Great late tackle to deny Lavezzi in the area, and that's the final action of the match!
    90+2'
    Whistles can be heard in the crowd - they're quite happy to see this one end.
    90+1'
    Three more minutes for Juventus to endure.
    90'
    Replays show Cavani on the sidelines orchestrating the crowd after his substitution - he's a firm fan favourite already, and no wonder.
    89'
    A bizarre corner - the ball is sent a long way back and then goes back to the corner flag, only to go out on the full. It matters little.
    88'
    Lavezzi stirs the crowd into more cheers as he wins a corner. He's been excellent for Napoli tonight as well.
    87'
    Krasic looked lively in a fifteen-minute spell at the start of the half but he's gone off the boil since - and he's been well-marked too.
    86'
    Del Piero tries to go it alone - but his shot is wildly ambitious and well over from thirty yards.
    85'
    Yebda crosses - or did he shoot? In either case it was not especially effective, and Storari gathers.
    84'

    Final change - Sosa comes on, replacing hat-trick hero Cavani. He gets the standing ovation his performance merited.
    83'
    Gargano tries a hit from range, but he's gone 127 games without scoring - no prizes for guessing his speculative effort did not end up in the back of the net.
    82'
    Industrious running from Yebda, running crossfield to get Napoli a little space.
    81'
    Aquilani makes a lazy challenge on Gargano. Juventus look as if they could lose their discipline if they aren't careful.
    80'
    Unseemly scrap in the middle between Grosso and Gargano. The free-kick goes the way of Juventus on this occasion.
    79'
    Another corner for the Bianconeri. Napoli seem quite happy to let their opponents press, as they have the lead they need.
    78'
    Good performance from Hamsik tonight - his delivery for the third goal was particularly enjoyable.
    77'

    Take a breather, Hamsik - Yebda, formerly of Portsmouth, takes the field.
    75'
    It's been a balanced game, really - but Juventus have been let down by lapses in their concentration at the back, and Napoli have taken their chances with gusto.
    74'
    Grosso lets the ball go out, winning a corner. He passes short to the anonymous Aquilani.
