The second half of Milan-Inter, the first leg of the 2024-2025 Coppa Italia semifinals, has just ended at the San Siro stadium.
Let’s take a look at how the final 45 minutes unfolded between Sérgio Conceição’s Rossoneri and Simone Inzaghi’s Nerazzurri.
Milan-Inter Derby 1-1.
After a very balanced first half, the second half of the Milan-Inter derby kicks off. No substitutions at halftime.
47' – Milan starts brilliantly and takes the lead! After prolonged possession, a vertical ball finds Abraham, who feints and frees himself superbly before firing a perfect right-footed shot past Martinez.
Just two minutes later, Inter responds: Barella tries a curling effort, but Maignan is alert and makes the save. The game is now wide open, with the Nerazzurri pushing hard for an equalizer. Milan struggles to break out under Inter’s intense pressing.
57' – The match remains lively. Milan looks dangerous on the counterattack, while Inter continues to press for the equalizer. Reijnders and Leao frequently trouble Inter’s defense with their bursts of pace and incisive passing. The Dutchman’s positioning is causing serious problems for Inter’s midfield.
67' – Inter equalizes! The play develops on the left for the Nerazzurri before a cutback finds Calhanoglu, who strikes well. The shot takes a slight deflection, and Maignan is not at his best in dealing with it. Conceição responds by bringing on Sottil for Jimenez.
76' – The Portuguese coach makes further changes, introducing Gimenez for Abraham and Joao Felix for Pulisic. Milan is going all-out in attack in these final minutes.
78' – Inter counterattacks, and Thiaw misjudges his challenge against Thuram. The Frenchman breaks into the box and shoots toward the near post, but Maignan makes a solid save. Moments later, Maignan comes to the rescue again, denying Zalewski after a defensive lapse from Walker.
With ten minutes remaining, Inter controls possession.
86' – Milan breaks forward on the counter: the ball finds Leao again, who attempts a curling shot that narrowly misses the target. Chukwueze and Bondo come on for Leao and Fofana.
Three minutes of stoppage time are added.
The match ends 1-1, leaving everything open for the second leg, scheduled for April 23, once again at San Siro.
