Football: Mertens breaks record as Napoli advance past Inter to reach Copa Italia final

Dries Mertens set a club record by scoring the decisive goal as Napoli advanced to the Italian Cup final after drawing 1-1 with Inter Milan on Saturday. In both sides' first match in more than three months due to the coronavirus pandemic, Inter took an early lead when Christian Eriksen scored directly from a corner kick. Mertens equalised before the break by finishing off a splendid counterattack and eclipsed Marek Hamsik as Napoli's leading scorer with his 122nd in all competitions. Napoli advanced 2-1 on aggregate inside an empty San Paolo Stadium, having won the first leg 1-0 in February. In the final on Wednesday in Rome, Napoli will face Juventus, who eliminated AC Milan on away goals on Friday in the first match of Italian football's restart.
