AC Milan beats Inter 1-0 to reach Italian Cup semifinals

 AC Milan and its third-choice goalkeeper surprisingly edged city rival Inter Milan 1-0 after extra time to reach the semifinals of the Italian Cup on Wednesday.

Patrick Cutrone scored in the 104th minute to book Milan a meeting with Lazio in a two-leg semifinal in January and February. The teenager was booked for taking his shirt off during wild celebrations.

"It seems like just yesterday I was in the youth team, I was playing in a derby and I celebrated like this, but doing so at



San Siro is something incredible," Cutrone said.

"We needed this for morale, the derby is not a normal match.

We'll enjoy going through and from tomorrow we'll think about our next league match against Fiorentina ... I love Milan and I want to stay here."

 

This result is one of the few positives in a miserable season for Milan, which lies 11th in Serie A. Milan and Inter have lost their last two league matches but the Nerazzurri are third in the league.
