Nerazzurri’s flash advantage after two minutes, with a right-footed volley by Thuram off an assist from Bastoni. In the 35th minute, after four minutes of protests and Var checks, the Felsini equalized on a penalty kick converted by Orsolini and awarded by Chiffi with the help of technology for a hand foul by Bisseck in his own area.

Five minutes later, however, Bologna lost Bernardeschi, replaced by Rowe, to a left shoulder injury. In the second half, in the 57th minute Heggem fouls Bonny in the box, Chiffi whistles the penalty but then, after consulting Var, reverses the decision.

It went straight to penalties and for Inter it was the festival of errors: Bastoni, Barella and Bonny missed, in Bologna only two errors, by Moro and Miranda, and it was Immobile, who entered in the second half, who scored the penalty that qualified the Emilians for the final.
