Milan defeated Inter 3-0 on Wednesday in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final, securing their spot in the final after a 1-1 draw in the first leg.
The match, held at the iconic Giuseppe Meazza Stadium, saw Milan take control early on. Inter’s Hakan Calhanoglu had scored the equalizer in the first leg to earn a 1-1 draw at home, but Milan put in a dominant performance in the return match.
Luka Jovic scored twice, first in the 36th minute and then in the 49th minute. Tijjani Reijnders added a third goal in the 85th minute to seal the victory.
As a result, Inter, with Calhanoglu in the lineup, was eliminated from the competition, while Milan advanced to the final.
