Como beats Napoli on penalties to advance to Coppa Italia semifinals
NAPLES, Italy (AP) --- Como advanced to the semifinals of the Coppa Italia for
the first time in 40 years after beating Italian champion Napoli in a penalty
shootout on Tuesday.
Stanislav Lobotka's sudden death spot kick was saved by Como goalkeeper Jean
Butez to spark wild celebrations on the field in Naples as Cesc Fabregas' team
won 7-6 in the shootout.
The game had ended 1-1 in regulation time.
Martin Baturina fired Como ahead from the penalty spot in the 39th minute, but
Antonio Vergara leveled just after the break.
Napoli came close to a winner when Amir Rrahmani saw a header cleared off the
line in the second half.
Romelu Lukaku failed to score for Napoli earlier in the shootout and Maximo
Perrone also missed for Como.
Napoli is a six-time winner of the Coppa Italia, most recently in 2020.
