AC Milan Beat Inter to Reach Coppa Italia Final 

Editor

Luka Jovic scored twice as AC Milan beat rivals Inter to reach the Coppa Italia final.

The first leg of the Derby della Madonnina had ended in a 1-1 draw, leaving the tie firmly in the balance.

But former Real Madrid striker Jovic put Milan ahead on the night and on aggregate when he headed in a cross nine minutes before half-time.

Jovic was on target again four minutes into the second half, this time flicking in from close range following a corner.

Jovic had failed to score until March but now has four goals in his last five games.

Mike Maignan had to make a big save to deny Stefan de Vrij pulling a goal back for Inter before Tijjani Reijnders slotted in a late third to seal a win that keeps alive Milan’s hopes of ending a disappointing season with a trophy.

They are ninth in Serie A and out of the Champions League as well as off the pace to qualify for next season’s competition.

The win also ensured Inter cannot end the season with a treble. They are top of Serie A and in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Bologna lead Empoli 3-0 in the other semi-final with the second leg of that match taking place on Thursday.
