Ghana midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah was in action for Juventus as they established a two-goal advantage in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final against Napoli on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
Napoli have never won in the Juventus Stadium and again lost to Juventus there, falling 3-1 in the first leg of a Coppa Italia semifinal thanks to Dybala\u2019s brace of penalties.<\/p>\n
Jose Callejon had given the visitors the lead after a flowing move.<\/p>\n
But Argentine Dybala levelled for the Serie A leaders, converting a spot-kick he was clipped by Kalidou Koulibaly.<\/p>\n
Gonzalo Higuain put the hosts ahead from a tight angle before Dybala added his second, converting after keeper Pepe Reina hauled down Juan Cuadrado.<\/p>\n
Asamoah played for about 73 minutes before he was substituted by Alex Sandro. The second leg takes place next Tuesday in Naples.<\/p>\n
