This marked a second consecutive draw in derby della Madonnina this season — something that had not happened since the 2016/2017 campaign, when both Serie A encounters between the Milan giants ended 2:2.
Tammy Abraham thrilled Rossoneri supporters in the 47th minute, using his body cleverly to deceive a defender before scoring to make it 1:0. The Englishman now has four goals in this season’s cup campaign—a milestone no Milan player had achieved in the last 20 seasons.
However, Milan’s advantage was short-lived. Just 20 minutes later, in the 67th minute, they were struck by a blow delivered by one of their former players. Hakan Çalhanoğlu equalised with a shot from the edge of the penalty area that left Mike Maignan with no chance, as the ball slipped under his arm to make it 1:1.
The return leg will take place on April 23, when it will finally be decided which of the Milan sides will advance to the final of Italy’s second most prestigious competition.
