Milan 0-0 Torino (aet, 5-4 pens): Rossoneri scrape through to Coppa Italia quarters
22:44 GMT 12/01/2021
Serie A leaders Milan could not find a way past Torino inside 120 minutes but prevailed on penalties in Tuesday’s Coppa Italia last-16 tie.
Milan booked a place in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia with a penalty shoot-out victory over Torino at San Siro following a goalless draw after extra time.
The Serie A leaders eased to a 2-0 win when the sides met in the league on Saturday but found it a lot tougher to break down their opponents – 28 points worse off in the league – in Tuesday’s cup tie.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic squandered the best early opening on his first start since November 22 and Milan then dominated the second half, twice hitting the post and having a penalty shout turned down.
Neither side could find a way through in the additional 30 minutes, but it was the hosts who prevailed on spot-kicks to set up a tie with Fiorentina or Inter – Hakan Calhanoglu scoring the decisive penalty after Ciprian Tatarusanu had denied Tomas Rincon.
It took a penalty shoot-out but we’re through to the quarter-finals
