A goal from the Argentine Lautaro Martinez With two minutes to go (88) and another by Francesco Acerbi in extra time (110), Inter Milan, current champions of the tournament, defeated Parma (now in Serie B) in the round of 16 of the Italian Cup.
In this round in which the greats of ‘calcio’ enter the fray, Inter was close to saying goodbye at the first exchange.
The Croatian Stanko Juric put the Parmesans ahead shortly before the break, with a right-footed shot from outside the area that the Cameroonian André Onana could do nothing against.
Despite the difference in category, Inter could not find a way to beat the legendary Gianluigi Buffon, who at 44 years old showed at times that time does not seem to pass by.
Finally, when the surprise seemed close, Lautaro Martínez picked up a rebound from the front and, falling, hit a right foot out of the reach of a Buffon who three minutes later saved his team with a spectacular save from a shot by the Bosnian Edin Dzeko (90+1). .
In extra time, a cross from the left by Federico Dimarco was parried by Buffon’s fists, but Acerbi sent the ball into the net with a long header to send Inter into the quarterfinals.
