UEFA Champions League Match Report: http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 vs Manchester City – Part 2
Following the half time break, both the teams stepped onto the pitch with a point to prove. However, it was the local side that looked to be on top of things, as they came out of the break with a plan.
In the 49th minute, this half time plan seemed to work for the side, as they scored their second goal of the game. Dossena went on to make a run forward and went on to cut the ball back into the path of Cavani. The inform striker then took a shot
at goal and his clinical effort sailed past http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Joe-Hart-c18699, as it crashed into the back of the net.
As the match progressed, Napoli started to really dominate the game, as they bombarded the City defenders with a number of attacks. However, despite Joe Hart making a number of brilliant stops, they seemed to be incapable of scoring any more goals.
In the 77th minute, Hamsik went on to take a shot at the goal and with it seeming like he had beaten everyone, his effort came back off the wood work and kept the goal difference at one for the time being.
In the 82nd minute Nasri went on to cross a ball towards the head of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mario-Balotelli-c23937. The striker, despite being unmarked really couldn’t guide his header towards the goal, as his effort sailed over the bar.
