Callejon spurns a great chance, one-on-one with Handanovic, but his blushes are spared by the offside flag.
90' +3
Desperate, last-ditch defensive work from Napoli, who have all 11 players camped deep in their own half. Biraghi gets a cross in, but Koulibaly once more proves to be a towering presence in the area and gets across to make a vital block to deny Sanchez a free header.
90' +1
We're heading into five minutes of added time, with Inter doing all the pressing.
88'
S. Sensi enters the game and replaces C. Eriksen.
A. Ranocchia enters the game and replaces S. de Vrij.
Another raft of changes, this time from Inter. De Vrij has gone off, with Ranocchia coming on.
Sensi is on for the final few minutes, replacing Eriksen.
86'
This match has turned increasingly scrappy as it has wore on, which will suit Napoli down to the ground.
85'
A. Younes enters the game and replaces L. Insigne.
Allan enters the game and replaces P. Zieliński.
Another Napoli change sees Zielinski replaced by Allan.
Insigne has also completed his efforts today. He has made way for Younes.
80'
All square as we head into the final 10 minutes, though of course that is enough for Napoli, who are heading through 2-1 on aggregate as things stand.
79'
D. Ospina gets yellow.
A booking for Ospina for time wasting.
75'
A. Milik enters the game and replaces D. Mertens.
Napoli win a corner, but first they make another substitution, with their goalscorer Mertens making way for Milik.

Description
72'
A. Sánchez enters the game and replaces L. Martínez.
C. Biraghi enters the game and replaces A. Young.
V. Moses enters the game and replaces A. Candreva.
Two changes for Inter. Conte has replaced Candreva with Moses.
Martinez's race is also run. The Barcelona-linked forward has struggled to find his best form today, and has made way now for Sanchez.
A substitute too for Inter. Young, who has been walking a disciplinary tightrope since early in the first half, has made way for Biraghi.
71'
Makisimovic does well to cut out a searching pass from Eriksen, though Napoli fail to clear their lines completely and Lukaku latches onto the rebound. His touch is a heavy one, however, and any chance goes begging.
65'
José Callejón enters the game and replaces M. Politano.
Fabián Ruiz enters the game and replaces E. Elmas.
Politano has also made way, with Callejon coming on.
A double change now for Napoli. First, Elmas makes with for Fabian Ruiz, who scored the winner in the first leg.
61'
Koulibaly has been a rock at the back for Napoli so far, clearing plenty away with his head and preventing Lukaku getting on the end of some dangerous crosses. However, when the striker has managed to latch onto Makisimovic, he has had more joy.
58'
Inter break at pace, with Eriksen finding space in midfield and driving forward. He gets a shot off, but it lacks the power to truly test Ospina.
56'
There’s a VAR check after Mertens appeals for a penalty, claiming De Vrij had handled in Inter’s area. However, Inter’s defender is cleared of any wrongdoing.
52'
Napoli have withstood the early spell of Inter pressure and are now on the front foot themselves, with Zielinski and Demme already getting notably more involved than they did in the first half, which is allowing the full-backs to push up the pitch.
48'
Much like for the majority of the first half, Inter are on the front foot, but Napoli's defence remains solid to see off some early pressure, with Mertens working back to trouble Eriksen and subsequently win a free-kick.
46'
KICK-OFF! We are back underway.
45' +1
HALF-TIME: NAPOLI 1-1 INTER (2-1 ON AGGREGATE).
43'
As it stands, Napoli are leading 2-1 on aggregate and heading through to the final. Mertens’ goal also means there can be no penalty shootout in this match.
41'
D. Mertens has scored a goal for Napoli! Assist by L. Insigne.
GOOOAAALLL!!! NAPOLI ARE LEVEL! Mertens has his goal, as he slots home at the end of a superb counter-attack which started from Ospina picking out Insigne, who in turn teed up his strike partner for a record-making goal.
Insigne gets the credit for the assist but Ospina was the player who started the move and, combined with his save from Candreva moments before, has somewhat atoned for his earlier mistake.
38'
S. de Vrij gets yellow.
De Vrij brings down Mertens and receives a yellow card.
37'
A wild, rash effort from Mertens, who seems to be growing increasingly frustrated. He had time and space on the edge of the area, but sent his strike well wide.
35'
Napoli need an outball at the moment, with their midfield unable to offer any control. Zielinski is the most creative player of the three in the centre for the home side, but has been unable to exert any control so far, with Eriksen, Brozovic and Barella all dominant.
26'
Candreva is proving a constant outlet for Inter, and again the former Lazio wideman finds himself free in an advanced position after linking up nicely with Lukaku, with his cross deflected out for a corner.
25'
A neat move sees Mertens get into the area, yet Skriniar is swiftly on hand to block the forward’s shot, with the deflection floating harmlessly down to Handonovic.
20'
Bastoni brings down Politano 25 yards out, handing Napoli a chance… Mertens’ free-kick, however, is straight into the wall, with his follow-up effort – a rash half-volley – flying well wide.
14'
Bar his run in the first minute, Insigne has hardly been involved for Napoli so far, with Mertens having been as equally as quiet. The hosts have to get their front line into this match soon, as so far they have struggled to create any meaningful attacks.
12'
A. Young gets yellow.
A first booking of the match goes to Young, who clattered into Di Lorenzo on Inter’s left flank.
10'
An unconvincing pass back from Bastoni almost hands Mertens a chance to capitalise and run through on goal, but Handanovic was quickly off his line to stem the danger.
8'
Gattuso will be furious with his side’s defending from the set-piece, though some rustiness is of course to be expected given how long the players have had to wait to return to action. However, the poor defending combined with Ospina’s error has wiped out the slim advantage Napoli held heading into this encounter.
4'
Due to the congestion of fixtures coming up in Italy following these Coppa Italia matches, Lega Serie A has decided there will be no extra-time in the cup games. As it stands, this scoreline is all that can send the match to penalties, as the away goals rule is still in play.
2'
C. Eriksen has scored a goal for Inter Milan!
GOOOOAAALLLL!! Eriksen scores from the corner! What a start for Inter, but what a howler that is from Ospina. Eriksen swung a cross in at the near post which evaded everyone before squirming through Ospina’s legs. It’s 1-0 to Inter and all level on aggregate.
Now it’s Inter’s turn to attack, with Candreva getting down the right and floating a cross towards the back post, which is put out for a corner…
1'
KICK-OFF! Following a moment of silence in respect of the victims of coronavirus in Italy, the match gets underway.
Straight from the off, Napoli try to utilise Insigne’s pace, with a long diagonal aimed out towards the winger, who gets there ahead of Candreva. Inter’s wing-back, though, managed to cut it out, with the visitors clearing the resulting corner.
Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage of the Coppa Italia semi-final second leg between Napoli and Inter!
Juventus edged into the final with a 1-0 aggregate victory over Milan, and Napoli head into today’s contest with a 1-0 lead from the first leg – which of course was played in February prior to the suspension of football due to coronavirus.
Fabian Ruiz scored a sublime winner at San Siro in the first leg, with Napoli then going another four matches unbeaten in all competitions before competitions were halted in March. Inter, meanwhile, have lost three of their last five fixtures.
NAPOLI (4-3-3): David Ospina; Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Nikola Makisimovic, Kalidou Koulibaly, Elseid Hysaj; Eljif Elmas, Diego Demme, Piotr Zielinski; Matteo Politano, Dries Mertens, Lorenzo Insigne.
NAPOLI SUBSTITUTES: Alex Meret, Jose Callejon, Mario Rui, Faouzi Ghoulam, Amin Younes, Sebastiano Luperto, Fernando Llorente, Orestis Karnezis, Fabian Ruiz, Arkadiusz Milik, Hirving Lozano, Allan.
INTER SUBSTITUTES: Roberto Gagliardini, Alexis Sanchez, Daniele Padelli, Cristiano Biraghi, Victor Moses, Lorenzo Pirola, Sebastiano Esposito, Kwadwo Asamoah, Borja Valero, Stefano Sensi.
INTER (3-5-2): Samir Handanovic; Stefan de Vrij, Milan Skriniar, Alessandro Bastoni; Antonio Candreva, Christian Eriksen, Marcelo Brozovic, Nicolo Barella, Ashley Young; Lautaro Martinez, Romelu Lukaku.
The teams are heading out at an empty Stadio San Paolo, with kick-off moments away!
Inter can take some solace in the fact that they have been the better side, and a little more penetration in the final third would likely see them score again. Of course, as it stands, one goal for the visitors would see them move ahead – thanks to the away goals rule – in this tie.
That's all for now. Until next time, goodbye!
While Napoli will now aim to claim their sixth Coppa Italia crown, Inter's focus will switch to the restart of their Serie A campaign, with Sampdoria coming up for Conte's side on June 21.
