Urugayan forward Edinson Cavani, "El Matador," scored four goals in Napoli's 4-2 win against Dnipropetrovsk, after his team trailed 2-1 in the second half, Thursday in Group F in the Europa League.

Napoli rebounded from its 3-1 loss suffered against Dnipro two weeks ago. But Thursday's win almost puts Napoli into the Europa League knockout round.

Cavani started the scoring with a goal in the seventh minute. In the 34th minute, Fedetskyy scored to equalize, then Zozulya scored the go-ahead goal.

In the 77th minute, Cavani tied the score, and in the 88th minute, he put Napoli ahead. He added his fourth goal in stoppage time to clinch the victory.

In the other match in Group F, AIK surprised PSV with a 1-0 victory. The only goal scored was by Bangura, in the 12th minute of the first half.

With the result, Napoli assumed second place in Group F with six points, two more than PSV and AIK, who each have four. Dnipro leads with nine points.
