MILAN (AP) ? Edinson Cavani scored twice to lead Napoli over two-time defending champion Inter Milan 2-0 and into the Italian Cup semfinals.

Cavani converted a penalty kick in the 50th minute after being tripped by Thiago Motta in what could have been the Brazilian's last game for Inter. Cavani added a goal in stoppage time.

Inter failed to reach the semifinals for the first time since 2003.

Napoli will meet Siena after the Serie A struggler reached the semifinals for the first time by winning 1-0 at Chievo Verona despite having a player ejected. Mattia Destro scored in the 54th minute, and Paolo Grossi was sent off six minutes later.
