Intern Milan vs Sampdoria Highlights: Copa Italia

Sampdoria held off an Inter Milan fightback to reach the Italian Cup final despite losing Thursday’s return leg 1-0.

Inter, stung by a 3-0 defeat in the first leg, gave themselves hope when Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored midway through the first half but Sampdoria held on to clinch a 3-1 aggregate win and a place in the final against Lazio.

Juventus vs Lazio Highlights: Copa Italia

Lazio reached the Italian Cup final with a 2-1 win at Turin which completed a 4-2 aggregate semi-final victory over Juventus on Wednesday.

Argentine forward Mauro Zarate curled a splendid right-foot shot into the corner in the 38th minute and Serbian full back Aleksandar Kolarov doubled the lead with a deflected strike in the second half.

Captain Alessandro Del Piero came off the bench to pull one back for the home side, who had substitute Mauro Camoranesi sent off in the closing stages when he protested after being booked.

The exit came in a difficult week for Juventus with the turmoil caused by the racist chants their fans directed at Inter Milan’s Mario Balotelli last weekend.

It left them with little hope of winning silverware this season as they are 10 points behind leaders Inter Milan in joint second in Serie A and speculation about coach Claudio Ranieri’s future is likely to increase.

Lazio vs AS Roma Highlights

In the back drop of the disaster that shook the whole nation just a few days ago, the Stadio Olimpico in Roma was filled to the brim with excited supporters who had come to watch the 132nd Derby della Capitale—and they were treated with an thrilling contest where SS Lazio defeated AS Roma, 4-2.

Expectations were high for obvious reasons as the teams walked out on the field for the afternoon’s highly anticipated “Derby della Capitale”

Roma icon Francesco Totti declared late yesterday that he would be able to play in the crucial game and was started the game.

Last week Roma put an end to their win less streak after a brace from captain Totti, whereas Lazio went on to collect their third consecutive defeat. Then again, Lazioproved that form matters little in games like these.

Chievo Verona vs AC Milan Highlights

Clarence Seedorf rounded off a glorious team effort to sink struggling Chievo and strengthen AC Milan’s bid for Champions League qualification berth.

The veteran midfielder guided the ball past Stefano Sorrentino early in the second half after Marek Jankulovski and Filippo Inzaghi had both turned down shooting chances to set him up.

Milan did not have it all their own way, though, and boss Carlo Ancelotti had to watch most of the game from the stands after being sent off for protesting too much over a first-half free-kick.
