Napoli wins to close in on Euro spot

NAPOLI broke a four-way for third place and the final Champions League berth with a 2-0 win over Palermo on Tuesday, stating its intentions of returning to the top European competition it fared so well in this season.

Edinson Cavani put Napoli ahead with a penalty in the 16th minute for his 23rd goal of the Serie A season, and Marek Hamsik doubled the lead in the 35th with a sublime chest control and shot from the center of the area. With two rounds remaining, Napoli moved three points in front of Udinese, Inter Milan and Lazio.

Roma and Chievo Verona drew 0-0 under heavy rain, hurting Roma's chances of qualifying for the Europa League.
