AC Milan did a fantastic job in the recently finished transfer window! At least it seems so after the Rossoneri’s 3-1 victory over Roma, for the Coppa Italia semifinals.The first half belonged to the “natives,” Tammy Abraham and Theo Hernandez, as the former netted a brace, while the latter assisted both times. Roma managed to return after the break thanks to Artem Dovbyk’s goal but that was it.Joao Felix on the verge of becoming… (checks notes)… Fernando Torres?!As for Milan’s reinforcements, Kyle Walker hit the bar, and Santiago Gimenez’s goal was disallowed, but the Mexican managed to assist Joao Felix, who netted on his debut and already became the fan favourite at San Siro.Semi-final bound! Bravi ragazzi! 👏#MilanRoma #CoppaItalia #SempreMilan Brought to you by @Bitpanda_global pic.twitter.com/mTjs6QziHP— AC Milan (@acmilan) February 5, 2025 Milan booked the ticket for the Coppa Italia semifinals already before the break, as the Rossoneri awaited it with a 2-0 lead. Tammy Abraham was the hero, scoring a first-half brace, both times to Theo Hernandez’s assists – first with a precise header and then with a cold-blooded finish.Roma had their chances over Paulo Dybala and Eldor Shomurodov, while Niccolo Pisilli hit the bar. Regardless, Mike Maignan’s net remained intact.3 – Tammy Abraham is the 3rd player to score for both #Roma and #ACMilan in the #CoppaItalia in the last 20 seasons (since 2005/06), after Marco Borriello and Stephan El Shaarawy.

However, none of Milan’s goals and chances discouraged the Wolfess, as Roma managed to reduce the gap in the 55th minute over Artem Dovbyk, who was subbed in during the break and scored a goal which significantly heated the visitors’ hopes.IMPACT OFF THE BENCH 🔥🔥🔥Dovbyk scores in the Coppa Italia and has pegged Milan back to just the one goalGame on!Most of the 2nd half left to play2-1 pic.twitter.com/AnrFtBOucU— Zorya Londonsk (@ZoryaLondonsk) February 5, 2025 Following Roma’s goal, Sergio Conceicao decided to give a chance to another recent addition, Santiago Gimenez, who managed to score, but his goal was disallowed for offside. What Walker and the Mexican failed to do, Joao Felix managed, as the Portuguese found the net, making it 3-1 in his first appearance in front of the San Siro crowd!⚽️ GOAL: Joao Felix🇮🇹 Milan 3-1 Romapic.twitter.com/Kjq896XoE0— Goals Xtra (@GoalsXtra) February 5, 2025 Roma quickly tried to bounce back once more, but Tijjani Reijnders’ own goal also did not stand for another offside. The Wolfess ultimately did not have enough strength for a comeback, so the Rossoneri scheduled the duel with either their city rivals Inter or Lazio.##NAJAVA_MECA_8684417##COPPA ITALIA – ITALIAN CUPQuarter-finalsTuesdayAtalanta – Bologna 0-1 (0-0)/Castro 80/WednesdayMilan – Roma 3-1 (2-0)/Abraham 16, 42, Felix 72 – Dovbyk 54/
