Inter And Milan Level In Derby Italian Cup Semi

Inter Milan and AC Milans Italian Cup semi-final was left finely balanced on Wednesday after the two giants of Italian football played out a 1-1 draw at the San Siro.

Hakan Calhanoglus strike in the 67th minute made sure that Inter would head into the ties second leg later this month with the scores level.

Turkey captain Calhanoglus low shot squirmed past Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan and cancelled out Tammy Abrahams brilliantly taken opener which was netted a minute after half-time.

Abrahams ninth goal of the season in all competitions came when his quick turn and drilled finish punished slack marking from Inter defender Yann Bisseck.

The winner of this tie will likely play Bologna in next months final in Rome after Vincenzo Italianos team comfortably beat Empoli 3-0 on Tuesday night.
