Inter Milan 1-0 Juventus: Internazionale reached the Coppa Italia final for the second time in a row on Wednesday evening. Juventus was defeated in the second game in the semi-finals.
After receiving a red card against Juventus in the first leg of the Coppa Italia game, Lukaku was initially given a one-game suspension. The racist striker attempted to hush the Juventus fans with a gesture, but the Belgian would have celebrated his goal in a disrespectful manner and received his second yellow card.
To Inter’s disarray, the sentence’s appeal was unsuccessful. Gabriele Gravina, the association’s president, however, declared the suspension to be over on Saturday.
Inter settles with Juve and is a cup finalist
Last season, Juventus was the opponent of Inter in the final, now the two top clubs met one round earlier. The game ended in 1-1 and was extremely charged. Romelu Lukaku equalized late, but received a second yellow card because of his way of cheering. A big fight ensued, after which Juan Cuadrado and Samir Handanovic got red. It was therefore known to Onana that he would keep in the second cup game and the goalkeeper did that excellently.
It was Inter that dealt the first blow after fifteen minutes. A successful attack was completed in a controlled manner by Federico Dimarco. Juventus didn’t offer much in return, except for a shot from Filip Kostic. Like many of Inter’s opponents this season, he found Onana on his way. The goalie kept a clean sheet for the sixteenth time.
Kostic and Onana were in the starting line-up of both Italian teams. Denzel Dumfries also had a basic place at the home club. Inter could have made things a lot easier for themselves in the second half, but Henrikh Mkhitaryan saw his effort from close range saved by keeper Mattia Perin. Because Juventus did not score anymore despite the arrival of Arek Milik and Paul Pogba, among others, Inter is again a finalist.
In the final, which will be played at the end of May, Fiorentina or Cremonese will be the opponent. They meet on Thursday night. Chances are that Fiorentina will reach the final battle, they won the first leg 2-0.
