🏆 Inter into semis: 2-1 v Torino, Kamaté assist, Bonny & Diouf goals ❗ | OneFootball

In the Coppa Italia, Inter defeats Torino 2-1, though not without some scares, thanks to goals from Bonny in the 35th minute (on an assist from debutant Kamaté) and Diouf in the 47th. Kulenovic's goal sets up an open ending but does not change the result.

The Nerazzurri will face in the semifinals the winner of Napoli-Como, which will be played on Tuesday, February 10.

At the start of the match, Bonny shoots from the edge of the box while Torino threatens with some runs down the wing, but the best chance falls to Carlos Augusto: a shot off the crossbar from outside the area in the 20th minute. The 1-0 comes in the 35th minute: a right-footed cross from debutant Kamaté—despite being left-footed—and Bonny heads it in. The Granata suffer under Inter’s possession and waste a dangerous counter with Vlasic.

In the second half, Inter immediately makes it 2-0: Thuram crosses low into the box and Diouf scores first-time with a run into the box. Torino reacts, tries several times, and finds the 2-1 in the 57th minute: a deflected cross from Pedersen and a header from Kulenovic, his first goal in Italy in his second appearance for Torino. In the final minutes, Baroni’s team goes on the attack, a goal by Prati is disallowed for offside, and they expose themselves to counterattacks, which Chivu’s team fails to capitalize on.

❌ Goal disallowed for Prati due to offside

MINUTE 74 – Following a set piece, Prati (No. 4) heads the ball and beats Martinez. However, his position is irregular, just beyond Pio Esposito.

😱 Kulenovic pulls one back: 2-1 with a header

MINUTE 57 – Pedersen crosses from the right, the trajectory is deflected and favors Kulenovic, who heads it in with Martinez coming out. The new Torino striker scores in his second appearance for the Granata, his first as a starter after coming on late against Lecce.

🤕 Bonny OUT due to injury

MINUTE 55 – Bonny, after a clash with Vlasic, goes down, and the Inter striker is forced to be substituted: he limps but leaves the field on his own. The first impressions from the sidelines: "He took a stud to the leg, has a cut and feels some pain but everything is ok".

💥 Inter's 2-0: Diouf scores, Thuram assists

MINUTE 47 – Thuram receives the ball in the box, shields it, then crosses it low and back: Diouf arrives and scores first time: it’s 2-0 for Inter.

RANDOM STATS: This is Diouf’s second goal in Coppa Italia, after the one against Venezia. Now he only needs a league goal, since he has already scored in the Champions League against Dortmund.

💣 Kamaté assist, Bonny goal: 1-0!

MINUTE 35 – Inter takes the lead: Kamaté, after a feint, goes to his right foot (despite being left-footed) and crosses precisely for Bonny, who scores with a header.

RANDOM STATS: First assist in his first ever senior appearance for Inter for Issiaka Kamaté, born in 2004.

🪵 Crossbar by C. Augusto, 4 shots in 20 minutes

MINUTE 20 – Carlos Augusto hits the crossbar with a left-footed shot from outside the area: a warning shot from Inter, who had only managed another shot with Bonny from the edge of the box. Two attempts also for Torino, who wasted a 4 vs 3 counterattack with Vlasic.

❗Marotta: "0 signings? We didn’t need to fix anything! Milan plays less"

In the pre-match interview with Mediaset, Marotta spoke about the title race: "Milan is the only team that can plan only for league commitments, which is clearly, in our opinion, an advantage. We are used to managing many matches; last year we played 64 games."

He also commented on the winter transfer window: "This is a transfer window for repairs, but we didn’t need to fix anything. In the summer, Ausilio and Baccin did a superb job."

👀 Who are Cocchi and Kamate: Chivu knows them from the youth teams

Chivu starts Matteo Cocchi from the first minute: the Italian left winger was born in 2007, a product of Inter’s youth academy, who this season played 30 minutes in the round of 16 against Venezia. Last year he made his debut in the Champions League against Feyenoord, and this year he has played 15 matches with the U23s, scoring 1 goal and providing 1 assist.

Kamaté instead is a winger/midfielder born in 2004: last year he played 10 matches in Serie B with Modena. As Daniele Mari reports: "Chivu knows him better than anyone, in his Primavera 4-3-3, Kamate played as a right-sided central midfielder. Chivu moved him to winger and Kamate repaid him with an outstanding season, scoring 15 goals and providing 7 assists, earning top spot in the regular season."

As for Cocchi: "Cristian Chivu saw his great potential. He brought him to the Primavera ahead of his age group and made him a starter."
