Napoli humbled by Bologna in Italian Cup

Edinson Cavani gave the hosts a 12th-minute lead but Cristian Pasquato on 38 minutes and Panagiotis Kone in stoppage time helped Bologna set up a last-eight clash with Inter Milan, who beat second-tier Hellas Verona 2-0 on Tuesday.

Greek midfielder Kone had also scored late on for modest Bologna when they won 3-2 at Napoli in the league last weekend.

They will face Catania in the January quarter-finals after the Sicilians progressed last week along with AC Milan, Juventus and AS Roma, who will host Fiorentina following the Florence side's 1-0 win at Udinese on Wednesday.

The standout tie of the pre-drawn last eight is Serie A champions and last season's beaten finalists Juventus travelling to Milan.

Serie A title-chasers Napoli were docked two points on Tuesday in Italy's latest match-fixing shame as three players were banned for between six months and three years over bets placed on a match with Sampdoria in 2010.
