Final with very tense nerves in Juventus-Inter: the first leg of the Coppa Italia finished 1-1, with two goals and three expulsions in the last 15 minutes. At the Stadium, Juve got off to a better start in the first half, almost taking the lead with Di Maria: a great save by Handanovic. Inter responded with a free-kick from Dimarco which was saved by Perin but the Juve goalkeeper got excited on Brozovic’s shot. In the second half, Inter made the match and attacked, Mkhitaryan went close to taking the lead but sent it just wide, then the Colombian Cuadrado received a good ball at the far post and diagonally beat Handanovic. It seems made for Allegri’s men, but in a convulsive finale Bremer commits handball in the area: a penalty that Lukaku, who came on in the second half, converts to make it 1-1 in the 94th minute. Exaggerated celebration for the Belgian who, already booked, receives a second yellow card and is sent off. At the final whistle, a tumult ignites on the pitch, at the expense of Handanovic and Cuadrado, who are also sent off. Teams still in contact in the tunnel. The 1-1 draw at the Stadium leaves everything open in view of the return to San Siro on 26 April.
