Milan “Inter” was eliminated from “Bologna” from the Italian Cup

In the 65th minute, Federico Ravalla intervened in a penalty shot by Lautaro Martinez (Inter), and “Giuseppe Meazza” needed extra time.

Inter opened the scoring with Carlos Augustus (’92), but Bologna managed to fight back.

Entering the field in the 85th minute, Joshua Zirkzee effectively kept the ball in the field, and the visitors equalized thanks to Sam Beukem (‘112).

The same Zirkzee passed in the center of the field of Francesco Acherbi and made a decisive pass to Dan Ndoye (‘116), who put the ball over the goalkeeper Emil Audero.

Bologna, who also had a great season in Serie A (4th place), will beat Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals.
