Milan and Inter will once again face each other tonight, for the fourth time this season, but this match will be in the Coppa Italia semifinals. Both teams have high ambitions in this tournament, as they seek to take the trophy home. But what does the regulation specify for this stage of the Coppa Italia?
In the semifinals, the qualification format changes: until the quarter-finals, if the match ended in a draw after 90 minutes, the game proceeded directly to penalties. Starting from this stage, however, the Coppa Italia rules also include extra time, both in the semifinals and in the final.
If Milan and Inter, after their second-leg match on April 23, have scored the same number of goals over the 180 minutes, they will have to play an additional thirty minutes of extra time before potentially moving on to a penalty shoot-out. This represents a difference compared to last January’s Italian Supercup Final.
