Live commentary AC Milan – Inter Milan (Coppa Italia 2021/2022, semifinals)

61

22:21

Luckily, Maignan can carry on.

59

22:19

Lautaro Martínez (Inter) receives a yellow card

Martínez is shown a yellow card for his boarding. It is questionable whether it really needs it.

58

22:18

Maignan rushes forward on a high ball from Inter and is ahead of Martínez. The Argentine kicks the keeper hard in the wrist and Maignan needs treatment.

57

22:17

As a result of a throw-in on the right flank, Krunić appeared relatively suddenly after a hook on the right pentagon. His left shot slips off him – right over.

56

22:16

Florenzi initially gets through well against Perišić on the right. Then he gets stuck on the Croatian.

53

22:12

…Maignan easily intercepts Çalhanoğlu’s harmless cross.

52

22:12

In the left half field Brozović gets a free kick…

49

22:10

Giroud shoots half-left in the penalty area for Saelemaekers. His shot from a central 13 meters is blocked – he can do more with it.

47

22:07

Handanovic! Directly it goes around on the opposite side. Rafael Leão fails with a powerful attempt from the left in the box from 13 meters at the goalkeeper.

46

22:06

After a few seconds in the second section, Džeko generates the first finish. His header after Barella’s half-field cross sweeps clearly over it from eleven meters.

46

22:05

Kick-off 2nd half

45

21:50

Mid-term conclusion:
Halftime in Giuseppe Meazza: The Milan derby is still goalless. After ten minutes that started out rather leisurely, it was the Rossoneri who could have gone ahead with two solid scoring chances. Then Inter slowly worked their way into the game without really putting pressure on them. Milan remained the better team, but too easily missed the opportunities that arose here and there. Defensively, the Pioli team is usually safe. All in all, we see a not necessarily high-class encounter in which there is still room for improvement. See you soon!

45

21:48

Official stoppage time (minutes): 1

43

21:45

There are only a few minutes left until the break. It doesn’t necessarily look like a goal will be scored here before the whistle is blown.

40

21:42

Krunic! Saelemaekers takes a great long ball down the wing on the right. Krunić finds his low pass into the backcourt and the shot is deflected to a corner. It brings nothing.

39

21:41

Çalhanoğlu pulls a free-kick from the left winger sharply against the first post, but doesn’t bounce out more than a corner. It ends up at Barella via detours and finally to the right of it.

36

21:38

Not much is happening at the moment. Both teams hardly ever come into dangerous areas.

33

21:35

Marcelo Brozovic

Yellow card for Marcelo Brozović (Inter)

Brozović tactically brings down Rafael Leão. This time he sees his yellow box.

30

21:32

After half an hour, the Rossoneri are still the better team. In the meantime, however, the Nerazzurri have also found a little more into the game.

27

21:30

Stupid scene for Milan: Giroud fits from the left into the free space in the center in front of the opposing sixteen. However, Rafael Leão, Saelemaekers and Krunić cannot agree on who will fire the shot. In the end, the former hits the ball clearly to the left.

26

21:29

Romagnoli has to go. Kalulu takes over.

26

21:28

Pierre Kalulu

Pierre Kalulu comes on at AC Milan

26

21:28

Alessio Romagnoli

Alessio Romagnoli comes off the bench at AC Milan

25

21:28

Romagnoli, however, needs treatment. The 27-year-old has problems with his adductors and will have to be substituted. A bitter failure.

23

21:25

That was mandatory! Perišić circles a cross from the left wing onto the back post. Romagnoli saves just before Džeko can head in.

21

21:24

Džeko gets stuck on an opponent with a shot from the left in the box. Bastoni finds his master in following up from the edge of the penalty area in Maignan.

20

21:22

Too little. After a weak Handanovič ball forward, Hernández quickly passes the ball to Rafael Leão via the left. However, his shallow cross does not find anyone.

17

21:20

After all, the Nerazzurri are now trying a little more offensive spirit. But it hasn’t gotten that dangerous yet.

14

21:17

Inter have problems finding the right match here. Not only because of the possibilities for the nominal hosts, this has been a poor performance by the reigning champions so far.

11

21:15

And the next one great opportunity for Milan! After a fine one-two, Hernández appears centrally on the edge of the penalty area. With his weaker right foot, he maneuvers the round past the box to the left.

10

21:13

The first big chance belongs to the AC! Handanovič plays a risky pass towards Brozović from his own penalty area. Krunić splashes in between and drops to the right to Saelemaekers. However, Handanovič parried his direct shot from the half right from 16 meters.

7

21:09

Overall, we see a shattered start. Both teams attack early and aggressively. So far, however, nothing worth mentioning has come out of it.

4

21:06

Brozović clearly tactically stops Hernández in his own half. Referee Mariani does not see a foul – that could well have been yellow.

20:44

On the other side, too, the trend is pointing downwards. The Nerrazurri not only lost the city duel in the league a few weeks ago (0:1). After that, they could only succeed in the quarterfinals of the Coppa against AS Roma (2-0). Since then they have only scored two possible points at Napoli (1-1), in the Champions League round of 16 first leg against Liverpool (0-2) and in the league against Sassuolo (0-2) and Genoa (0-0). . This not only reduced the lead in the table to potentially one point – self-confidence may also have suffered somewhat.

20:26

Things haven’t been going so well for the Rossoneri lately. Both at the bottom of the table in Serie A US Salernitana (2-2) and recently at home against midfield club Udinese (1-1), they only managed a draw. Because SSC Napoli beat Lazio Roma (2-1) and the goal difference is slightly worse, they are in second place with a game more than arch-rivals Inter. On the other hand, the performances in the Coppa should encourage. After a difficult victory against FC Genoa (3-1 after extra time), they followed up with a convincing triumph over Lazio (4-0).

20:00

Hello and welcome to the first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinals! AC Milan meets Inter in the Milan derby today. Kick-off is at 9:00 p.m.
