Coppa Italia | Inter 3-2 Como: Incredible fight back for spot in Final Inter again overturned a 2-0 deficit to beat Como, this time 3-2 with a Hakan Calhanoglu brace and Petar Sucic, to reach the Coppa Italia Final. The first leg ended 0-0 at the Stadio Sinigaglia , so it was all to be decided here , potentially including extra time and penalties, for who will face either Atalanta or Lazio on May 13. When these teams met in Serie A on April 12, Inter fought back from 2-0 down for a thrilling 4-3 victory .

Lautaro Martinez and Alessandro Bastoni were still injured, while Luis Henrique stepped in for Denzel Dumfries. Jayden Addai was the only Como absentee, but Cesc Fabregas switched to a three-man defence after one point from three Serie A games. See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.

Ange-Yoan Bonny prodded wide from a Piotr Zielinski nutmeg pass, but the visitors had a stronger start, as Josep Martinez made a huge one-handed save to deny Martin Baturina at the back post and on the resulting corner the Marc-Oliver Kempf header bounced off the frame of the goal. Francesco Acerbi twice ran huge risks when getting into a physical tangle with Tasos Douvikas, but both times the free kick went against the Como striker. Como took the lead with the first goal of this tie, as Ignace van der Brempt got down the right and pulled back for Baturina to sweep in first-time with the inside of the boot from eight yards, in off the far post.

Lucas Da Cunha also stung Martinez’s gloves from distance, but Como doubled their advantage at the dawn of the second half.

Nico Paz intercepted a wayward Piotr Zielinski pass and sent Da Cunha down the right, where he threaded a precise left-foot finish into the far bottom corner.
