Jovic Double Sinks Inter as Milan Storm into Coppa Italia Final

AC Milan are headed to Rome.

In a fiery second-leg showdown at San Siro, the Rossoneri surged past city rivals Inter 3-0, booking their place in the Coppa Italia final with a dominant 4-1 win on aggregate. Luka Jovic was the man of the moment, netting twice with a striker’s instinct, while Tijjani Reijnders added the gloss with a late finish to crush any faint hopes of a Nerazzurri comeback.

Inter, who came into the match still dreaming of a treble, will now have to regroup and refocus on their Serie A and Champions League pursuits. Despite some promising early chances—including Federico Dimarco rattling the bar and Stefan de Vrij forcing a sharp stop from Mike Maignan—Simone Inzaghi’s men failed to convert pressure into goals.

That inefficiency proved costly when Milan struck against the run of play. In the 36th minute, Alex Jimenez picked out Jovic with a pinpoint cross, and the Serbian powered home a header to give Milan the lead. Just four minutes after the break, Jovic pounced again—this time reacting quickest to a loose ball from a corner to make it 2-0.

As Inter pushed for a miracle, Rafael Leao’s slick throughball set up Reijnders to calmly finish in the 85th minute, sealing the win and Milan’s first Coppa Italia final appearance since 2018.

Statistically, it was a tight contest. But the Rossoneri’s clinical edge proved decisive. With Bologna likely awaiting in the final after their 3-0 first-leg win over Empoli, Milan now eye their first Coppa Italia title since 2003.

For a team languishing mid-table in Serie A and seeking redemption after a turbulent season, this cup run may just be the spark they needed.
