Lazio clears San Siro and reaches Juventus and Naples in the semifinals: now they await the winner of Rome-Cesena, scheduled for Wednesday evening, for a probable Roman derby in the semifinals. The Biancocelesti thus redeemed Saturday's home defeat against Chievo and prevailed at the Meazza against Inter: the score was 1-2, with goals from Felipe Anderson, Biglia from a penalty and Brozovic in the final for the Nerazzurri. The match, also marked by the expulsions of Miranda and Radu, represents the first defeat of Pioli's Inter after 9 consecutive victories between the championship and the Italian Cup.
The Biancocelesti suffer too much in the final, given that Immobile, Anderson and Parolo had eaten up three huge opportunities when the result was still 1-0. Inzaghi's team sinks its blows on the counterattack, against an Inter that once again shows some limits of balance, with the midfield often skipped and prairies conceded to the opponents. The Brozovic-Kondogbia duo protects the central players little: is Gagliardini already indispensable?
