Fabian Ruiz fired Napoli to a 1-0 win over Inter Milan in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final on Wednesday at the San Siro.

A tight first half produced few chances for either side. Inter's Marcelo Brozovic fired a tame shot straight at David Ospina, while Lautaro Martinez headed Cristiano Biraghi's cross over the bar.

Napoli's best chance of the opening 45 minutes fell to Dries Mertens, but the Belgium international could only blaze over after good work from Jose Callejon.

The Naples club stunned the hosts by scoring the only goal on 57 minutes to give Gennaro Gattuso's side the advantage going into the second leg at the Stadio San Paolo.
