In the Italian Cup quarter-finals, Inter hosted Torino at their home ground, providing fans with a dramatic, fast-paced, and thrilling performance. The Nerazzurri, led by Christian Kivu, secured a 2-1 victory and a spot in the semi-finals.
In the first half of the match, the home team took the initiative and increased attacks. The result didn't take long: in the 35th minute, Bonnie opened the scoring and put Inter ahead. This goal instilled confidence in the team and motivated them to play more actively in the second half.
After the break, Inter opened up the opponent's defense once again. In the 48th minute, Diouf scored, extending the lead to two goals - 2:0. However, Torino didn't give up: in the 57th minute, Kulenrovic reduced the deficit and restored the game.
After that, the game became much more intense. "Torino" increased pressure, while "Inter" relied on disciplined defense and proper substitutions to keep the score. Kivu made a number of substitutions in the second half: Mkhitaryan was replaced by Sucic, Thuram by Lautaro Martinez, and Bonni by Esposito. These exchanges proved effective in controlling game tempo and "extinguishing" dangerous attacks.
In the end, Inter didn't lose the advantage on their home field and kept the 2-1 victory. Thus, the Nerazzurri reached the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia and took another step forward in the fight for the trophy.
