Abraham Scores Again as AC Milan Draw 1-1 with Inter in Coppa Italia Semi-Final

The first chapter of the Coppa Italia semi-final derby delivered intensity and crucial moments. AC Milan, playing as the designated home team at the shared San Siro, took the lead shortly after halftime. Abraham demonstrated his poacher's instinct, receiving the ball in the penalty area, turning skillfully, and firing low into the corner.

However, Inter responded twenty minutes later through former Milan player Hakan Çalhanoğlu. His powerful shot from outside the box proved unstoppable for Maignan. Despite Inter creating further chances, Maignan's excellent goalkeeping kept the scores level.

The draw underscores the evolution of the Milan squad. Just three years ago, when these rivals last met in this competition (a 3-0 win for Inter in the semi-final second leg), the Rossoneri lineup looked considerably different. Players like Franck Kessié, prominent then, have since departed. Now, only a core group featuring Maignan, Hernandez, and Leão consistently links the two eras. This turnover highlights the strategic shifts and rebuilding Milan has undergone. All eyes now turn to the second leg on April 23rd, which will determine who advances to the final.
