ROME, May 4 (AFP): Ten-man Napoli overcame dramatic scenes prior to kick-off at the Olympic Stadium to claim their second Italian Cup trophy in three years thanks to a 3-1 win over Fiorentina Saturday.
Violence marred the lead-up to the final with unconfirmed reports that at least four fans had been taken to hospital with gunshot wounds.
Hard-line 'ultra' fans of Napoli, many of whom threw rocket flares towards the pitch, even ordered the Serie A giants not to play after rumours spread that one of their supporters had been shot.
