AC Milan Secures Coppa Italia Final Berth with Dominating Derby Win

AC Milan will compete in the Coppa Italia 2025 final after a commanding 3-0 triumph over Inter Milan at San Siro on Wednesday. This victory sealed a 4-1 aggregate score in the semi-final.

Luka Jović delivered an exceptional performance, scoring twice in the 36th and 50th minutes to give Milan a significant advantage. Tijjani Reijnders then added a remarkable third goal in the 85th minute, igniting celebrations among Milan supporters and confirming their team’s place in the Rome final.

Despite Inter controlling 56% of the possession and taking 16 shots, Simone Inzaghi’s squad struggled to convert their dominance into goals, only managing three shots on target.

In contrast, Milan showcased clinical efficiency, scoring three times from just eight attempts. The tactical awareness and effective finishing of the Rossoneri proved crucial in determining the outcome.

The derby was played with a generally positive attitude, with only one caution given to an Inter player. Milan demonstrated composure and concentration throughout the match, successfully managing pressure and launching rapid counterattacks that exploited Inter’s defensive vulnerabilities.

Following the game, Jović highlighted the significance of the win, especially considering Milan’s recent difficulties in Serie A.

Jović’s Post-Match Comments
