10:45 p.m
There are still about ten minutes left here at San Siro, can Roma come back or will Inter make it here over time and make it into the semifinals? At the moment there is no final offensive by the guests.
78
10:43 p.m
Lautaro Martínez straight away with the first shot, but from 18 meters he chases the thing over the crossbar.

75
22:41
Abraham hits the crossbar from a corner but commits a storm foul beforehand, so a goal wouldn’t have counted.
71

Double substitution for Roma, who actually did well in the second half, but are now two goals behind.

10:33 p.m
Tooor for Inter, 2-0 through Alexis Sánchez
Inter increases with a dream goal! Sánchez is released 20 meters from the goal and humorlessly hammers the leather into the left corner of the cross, what a goal!
65
22:31
De Vrij clears on the line! Mkhitaryan sends Zaniolo, who circles around Handanovič outside the box, puts the ball on target from a tight angle, where de Vrij headers off the line. A hit would probably have been disallowed for an offside position.
64
10:30 p.m
Now Inter again, which is why Rui Patrício has to fly properly, Barella with a great long-range shot from 20 meters. Rui Patrício scratches it out of the right corner, that would have been a dream goal.
62
22:28
A deflected long-range shot from Sérgio Oliveira from 25 meters out becomes a real test for Handanovič, who has to stretch and just about clear the ball.
59
22:24
Zaniolo tries to turn from 16 meters, but just misses, but Roma is now more active.
56
22:21
Veretout tries it from 20 meters, centrally in front of the goal with a long-range shot, a little too high.
54
22:20
There is also a complete lack of pace on both sides, the ball only slowly circles through their own ranks.
51
10:15 p.m
Cautious start to this second section, little is happening in front of the gates.
48
22:14
Abraham gets through Škriniar relatively easily on the right, then sees Zaniola in the middle, but Handanovic is just in front of the striker on the ball in the penalty area.
46
22:11
On we go, the Roma with a change.
46
22:10
Marash Kumbulla comes on as a substitute at AS Roma

Substitution at AS Roma: Ibañez

Kick-off 2nd half
45
21:56
Mid-term conclusion:
Inter leads 1-0 against Roma at the break after a furious start. In the first fifteen minutes, the guests were only overrun at times and this resulted in Dzeko taking the lead after just two minutes, and a little later Barella only hit the crossbar. But Roma woke up and went on to have two good chances to score themselves. After half an hour, however, the game flattened out and it got hotter. Lots of fouls, cards and interruptions didn’t allow the game to flow anymore, but it remains exciting in the second round.
45
21:50
Jose Mourinho (AS Roma) is shown a yellow card.
José Mourinho complains too much to the referee and sees a yellow card.

Official injury time (minutes): 3

21:49
De Vrij now takes over for Bastoni.
45
21:48
Substitution at Inter: Stefan de Vrij
45
21:48
Substitution at Inter: Alessandro Bastoni
43
21:47
Bastoni injured his ankle in a tackle with Zaniolo and will have to be substituted. That doesn’t look good at all.
41
21:45
Good free-kick opportunity for Roma. Sérgio Oliveira serves the ball from the right half field, but Inter clears without problems.
38
21:41
Yellow card for Gianluca Mancini (AS Roma)
Mancini is now also yellow because he is clearly too late against Sánchez.
37
21:40
Nicolò Zaniolo (AS Roma) is shown a yellow card.
Zaniolo elbows Bastoni and sees a yellow card.
34
21:38
Two consecutive corners from Inter don’t really put Roma in Bredullie, the game is flattening out a bit now.
29
21:34
Next finish from Roma, a free-kick cross from the half-field finds Ibañez’s head on the left side of the box, his header flies just wide of the goal to the left.
26
21:30
Overall, after the furious start, the game has calmed down significantly, both teams are lacking in the last precision in the offensive game.
23
21:27
Inter are taking it a little easier now and are patiently building up from behind.
20
21:25
Both teams are now in the game, it’s an open, offensive exchange of blows.
19
21:23
The Roma has now woken up. Sérgio Oliveira wins the ball in midfield, Abraham passes it on superbly into the penalty area to Zaniolo, who aims exactly at Handanovič from twelve meters in the center of the penalty area, who clears with a foot defence, there was more in it.
16
21:18
Big chance Roma!
The first time the capitals come forward and immediately it becomes really dangerous. Mkhitaryan enters the box on the right, goes to the baseline, Handanovič fails to clear his low cross towards Abraham, and the ball then bounces off D’Ambrosio’s foot and onto the crossbar.
13
21:17
Smalling misses a back pass and Inter take a corner. Sánchez brings this in from the right, but in this case Roma get it defended, but without getting forward themselves
9
21:13
Furthermore, only Inter plays here. After a free kick on the right corner of the penalty area, Škriniar is free to head the ball in the middle, but puts the ball too centrally on goal from around seven meters.
6
21:10
Late cracker Inter!
Barella has far too much space in the center, doesn’t hesitate from around 22 meters and puts the ball on the crossbar in the top left corner, lucky for Roma.
4
21:08
So how does Roma react to this very early deficit? So far they haven’t been able to do anything offensively.
2
21:05
Tooor for Inter, 1-0 through Edin Džeko
Lightning start Inter! After a one-two on the left with Sánchez, Perišić has a lot of space, crosses precisely into the middle, where Dzeko volleys the half-high ball perfectly into the bottom left of the goal from around eleven meters.
1
21:03
The ball rolls, Inter with the kick-off.
20:59
There are even banners for guest coach José Mourinho, understandable because he had an extremely long and successful time here as a Tariner, including the Champions League victory in 2010.
20:56
The teams come into the half-filled arena, it’s about to start here.
20:39
The last time the two teams met in the league was in December, and it was very clear back then. Inter, deservedly and confidently, defeated Roma 3-0.
20:27
Roma cannot be satisfied with last weekend’s result either, they only managed a meager 0-0 against Genoa, second from bottom in the table. Coach José Mourinho therefore makes two changes today. Veretout and Viña start today for Maitland-Niles and Cristante.
20:20
The hosts want to get back on track after the bitter derby defeat against AC Milan at the weekend. Coach Simone Inzaghi makes four changes compared to this game. D’Ambrosio, Darmian, Sánchez and Vidal start today for Martinez, Dumfries, de Vrij and Calhanoglu.
20:12
Both teams had their problems with their round of 16 opponents. Inter only beat Empoli 3-2 in extra time. Roma defeated Lecce 3-1 but also benefited from a 30-minute advantage.
19:57
Good evening and welcome to the Coppa Italia quarter final match between Inter Milan and AS Roma. Kick-off at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium is at 21:00.
