Napoli extended its run of good form in Serie A to the Italian Cup with a 2-1 win over Bologna on Tuesday that set up a quarterfinal meeting with defending champion Inter Milan.
French midfielder Hassan Yebda put Napoli ahead with a header in the ninth minute at the San Paolo stadium and Argentine striker Ezequiel Lavezzi doubled the lead in the 23rd following a pass from Marek Hamsik.
Riccardo Meggiorini converted a penalty for Bologna in the 56th.
The match was suspended briefly shortly after halftime due to a lighting outage.
The quarterfinal pairings will be completed Wednesday and Thursday with AS Roma facing Lazio in a derby, Sampdoria hosting Udinese and Serie A leader AC Milan facing Bari.
Napoli is second in Serie A, four points behind Milan.
