Match Report
Inter Milan crushed their guests Venezia 5-1 at San Siro in the Coppa Italia Round of 16, a performance that left little doubt about the outcome.
Inter’s goals came from Andi Diof in the 18th minute, Francesco Espozito in the 20th, Marcus Thuram with a brace in the 34th and 51st, and Angi Yuan Boni in the 76th, while Venezia’s only reply was Richi Sagerado in the 67th.
With the win, Inter book their place in the quarterfinals and will wait to learn the identity of their opponent from the Roma-Torino clash next month.
The match started cautiously, with Susic testing the goalkeeper in the eighth minute with a powerful long-range attempt that sailed over the bar.
Fratsi had a big moment in the 17th, receiving a clever through ball and turning to shoot, but his effort skimmed the side netting.
Two quick goals
In the 18th minute, Diof opened the scoring after a nice build-up, and two minutes later Espozito added a second with a precise finish from outside the area.
Inter continued pressing, and Thuram then took over, firing a third in the 34th after a midfield turnover and driving shot that beat the keeper, before completing a brace in the 51st with another well-placed strike.
The hosts pushed for a fourth, and a late flurry saw Mihtarian and teammates create chances, but a well-hit cross found Boni, who headed home in the 76th for the fifth.
Venezia briefly threatened a late comeback, but Inter’s defense held firm as the five-goal cushion was enough to seal the result and the tie was effectively decided long before the final whistle.
Inter’s performance underlined their attacking depth and efficiency, while Venezia could take positives from a stubborn showing that yielded a single goal in reply.
Inter Milan celebrate a dominant night as they march toward another Coppa Italia run, eyeing the next round with confidence.
Inter is now one step closer to potential glory with a five-star performance that should silence the critics and spark a few memes about San Siro's fortuitous lighting for goals—because the floodlights clearly approved the script!
