City have started much the better but Lavezzi has just hit the bar with a great effort from outside the box

and Utd are breaking any squares at the mo either.

And sure enough they go a goal down to Cardozo on 24'

What was the goal like?

Very well taken ran into area and unleashed a good shot. Can't blame the goalie. Man Utd have a few big names on the bench - hope they don't regret that.

Rooney just booked (van Persie v Barca style) because he didn't hear the whistle.

Yaya Toure hits the bar after a quick counter attack from City which came from an awful corner kick from Napoli

Yes, should have scored there.

Utd not improving any

Aimar playing for Benfica - remember him? Still dives just as much.

Would you believe it - first shot on target and Man Utd are level with a goal from Giggs on 42'

Yes I would, typical United

What bits I've seen Napoli are not going to finish with 11 men on the pitch - is that right?

Shouldn't complain too much after Milan's two on target yesterday.

Yeah I agree but look at the difference between the two oppositions
