Spectacular evening at "San Siro", where Inter secures the Coppa Italia final after an extraordinary upset against Como, with a score of 3-2.
The match starts at a high pace from the visitors, who come close to scoring in the 9th minute with a shot on the crossbar from Kempf. The pressure pays off in the 32nd minute: a nice move from the right and Baturina sends the ball into the net for 0-1.
Inter reacts immediately, but Thuram's header is stopped over the line by Perrone. The first half ends with Como's minimal advantage.
At the start of the second half, the second strike for the Blues comes: in the 48th minute Da Cunha takes advantage of a counterattack and scores for 0-2. But that's where everything starts for the home team. In the 69th minute, Calhanoglu reopens the challenge with a precise shot from distance. Inter increases the pressure and in the 86th minute the Turk is again the protagonist, this time with a header, after an assist from Sucic, to equalize the scores at 2-2.
When everything seemed to be heading towards extra time, the decisive moment arrived: in the 89th minute, Sucic completed a perfect move and scored the winning goal 3-2, sealing the big upset.
Inter thus advances to the 16th final in its history in the Coppa Italia and now awaits the winner of the match between Atalanta and Lazio.
Technician Christian Chivu was also happy after this success: "This result is the fruit of the work of a group that has been doing very well since the beginning of the season; when they are called into the game, they show it. Those who came off the bench gave a great help, understanding the moment and knowing what to do. They showed personality and courage, and Sucic, Diouf and Pio Esposito were decisive. This group has an extraordinary desire to be competitive until the end."
Even the prestigious Italian newspapers had the success of the black and blues on the front page with the overthrow of Como. "A crazy Inter" and "Inter in infinity", were some of their main headlines.
