It had been put in the tile oven for a bang of a match in Milan tonight. Inter hosted AC Milan in the Coppa Italia. Although, Christian Eriksen started on the bench for Inter, but at the end, he made sure Inter advanced to the next round of the Coppa Italia. It was also a short pleasure for Simon Kjær, who had to go out with an injury after just 18 minutes, and this meant a lightning debut for Fikayo Tomori, who has just arrived in Milan from Chelsea.

The first half offered great chances at both ends. Brahim Diaz tried for Milan, while Romelu Lukaku tested the reflexes of Inter's goalkeeper. However, it should be Zlatan Ibrahimovic who stole the focus once again. The great Swede showed good ball control on the edge of the field and finished coolly via the post and in. 1-0 to Milan. The first half ended with a riot between Lukaku and Ibrahimovic, which resulted in a yellow card for both players.

This action should prove extremely crucial in the second half, when Zlatan after 58 minutes received his second yellow card and was sent off early in the shower after tackling Aleksandar Kolarov. A man in the lead meant that Inter took control of the match. After 71 minutes, Milan were awarded a Penalty kick. Romelu Lukaku executed from the spot and thus it was completely straight. Antonio Conte threw Christian Eriksen on the field in the 88th minute in a last-ditch attempt to win the match. This should prove to be very smart. The Danish midfielder fired a free kick directly into the net from the edge of the field in the overtime of the match, which meant that Eriksen won the match, and that Inter now has the right to taunt in Milan.
