Manchester City&#8217;s mischievous boy Balotelli then took advantage of a defensive error to equalize for City in the 33rd. minute. But Cavani restored Napoli&#8217;s lead in the 49th, taking a cross from Andrea Dossena and firing past goalkeeper Joe Hart from the center of the area to have the last word.<\/p>\n<p>Bayern Munich leads Group A with 13 points after beating Villarreal 3-1. Napoli is next with eight, City seven and Villarreal zero.<\/p>\n<p>In the final group round on Dec. 7, City hosts Bayern and Napoli visits Villarreal.<\/p>\n<!-- Error, Advert is not available at this time due to schedule\/geolocation restrictions! -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edinson Cavani comes out of goal drought scoring two against Manchester City as Napoli edges the Manchester side in Champions League carrying its hopes for reaching the next round<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":562,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[80,63,17,135,118,127,14],"tags":[19086,14173,19087,19084,78655,19088,19085],"class_list":["post-15111","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-breaking-news","category-daily","category-europe","category-football","category-hot","category-sport","category-world","tag-bolatelli-manchester-city","tag-edinson-cavani","tag-edinson-cavani-goals","tag-edinson-cavani-napoli","tag-naples","tag-napoli-cavani","tag-napoli-manchester-city"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15111","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/562"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15111"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15111\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15111"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
