And that's the final whistle! Napoli have got their campaign off to a winning start! It's ended Cesena 1 Napoli 3. Thanks for joining us!
Cavani wriggles through to the edge of the Cesena box. Tries to play in Pandev but the ball is smuggled back to Ravaglia.
MUTU!! Goes for the goal with a rasping effort!! Flies well wide of the upright! The Romanian looks frustrated tonight.
Comotto is brought down by Campagnaro. Free-kick to Cesena on the edge of the box.
We're in the last minute, but the ref signals four added minutes.
COMOTTO!! Snap shot from the Cesena man! Doesn't trouble De Sanctis.
Stlll Napoli attack. Again the ball is swung in for Pandev. Hooked out as far as HAMSIK!! Strikes it! GOAL NAPOLI!! Game over! Napoli lead 3-1 and the three points are in the bag.
Fernandes with an instant impact! Gets behind the Cesena defence and squares the ball to PANDEV!! Must be!! NO!! Incredible! He's hit the bar from eight yards out with the goal gaping!!
Howls from the Cesena crowd as some Napoli players take a overlong water break.
Federico Fernandes is set to come on. Walter Mazzari knows it's a slender lead and wants to back up the defence. Lavezzi makes way.
Last 10 minutes as Jorge Martinez comes on for Cesena.
Napoli have time and space to play the ball around. Lavezzi delivers but Cavani is offside.
Cesena can't get near the ball at the moment. Although there's Bogdani with a rare sight of goal. Tries to find Mutu but only passes to De Sanctis.
Down goes Cannavaro under Mutu's challenge. Looks like he played for that one.
Hamsik finds CAVANI!! Great stop by Ravaglia but it was straight at him. Either side of the keeper and Napoli would have had a third!
Lavezzi almost gets on the end of a pass as Cesena are again pegged back in their half.
Ref gives a drop ball. Some relief for Cesena.
HAMSIK!! Gets the ball from another short corner and blasts goalwards!! Ravaglia makes the stop but the pressure is relentless from Napoli!
Change for Cesena. Erjon Bogdani replaces Eder.
GOAL NAPOLI!! It had to come! It's a short corner for Hamsik, he plays the ball to the far post and there's Campagnaro to beat the sleeping Rossi and beat Ravaglia from a matter of yards! Cesena 1 Napoli 2!!
