Bologna dumps champ Napoli out of Cup
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 21 - 12 - 2012

MILAN — Defending champion Napoli's miserable week continued as it crashed out of the Italian Cup Wednesday after a 2-1 defeat at home to Bologna.
Panagiotis Kone scored the winner in stoppage time to send Bologna through to the quarterfinals. Lazio and Fiorentina also advanced.
It is the second time in a week Napoli has lost to Bologna, following Sunday's 3-2 defeat in the league, in which Kone also scored.
Edinson Cavani headed Napoli in front in the 12th minute before Cristian Pasquato equalized seven minutes from halftime.
After the goal, Cavani and coach Walter Mazzarri held up a Napoli shirt with the words “Cannavaro and Grava” written on it, in support of captain Paolo Cannavaro and defender Gianluca Grava, who were each banned for six months Tuesday for failing to report match-fixing.
Napoli was penalized two points in Serie A in the same case.
Napoli is the only side currently in the top eight of the Italian league that has not advanced to the quarterfinals. Bologna will play Inter Milan.
Earlier, Lazio beat Siena 4-1 on penalties to book its place against Catania.
Fiorentina will face Roma after a 1-0 win over Udinese. Borja Valero capitalized on an error from Dusan Basta to score the only goal of the game in the 36th minute.
Dortmund routs Hannover
Mario Goetze scored a hat trick Wednesday as defending champion Borussia Dortmund routed Hannover 5-1 in the German Cup to set up a quarterfinal at Bayern Munich.
The quarterfinal draw was made afterward, when Dortmund managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke said he'd rather have played Bayern at home.
Elsewhere in the third round, Stuttgart defeated second-division Cologne 2-1 thanks to a 31st minute opener from Christian Gentner and a Vedad Ibisevic penalty five minutes later. Stuttgart will next host Bochum, which beat second-division rival 1860 Munich 3-0.
Earlier, Dutch striker Bas Dost scored in the last minute as Wolfsburg came from behind to beat Bayer Leverkusen 2-1.
Mainz will host Bundesliga rival Freiburg in the other quarterfinal, with the games scheduled for Feb. 26 and 27.
Ribery gets 2-match ban
Bayern Munich's French winger Franck Ribery was banned for two German Cup matches Thursday after being sent off against Augsburg and will miss the quarterfinal at home to holder Borussia Dortmund. Ribery was shown a straight red card Tuesday for an altercation with Augsburg's South Korea midfielder Koo Ja-Cheol early in the second-half of Bayern's 2-0 win. — Agencies
