It was a dramatic Coppa Italia quarter-final with twists and turns throughout 120 minutes, as Milan eventually beat Torino 4-2 in extra time with Hakan Calhanoglu and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Match Reports
The winners will go on to face Juventus in the two-legged semi-final.
Rebic provided the assist for the opener, bursting down the left and flashing a ball across the six-yard box that went past Krzysztof Piatek, but Jack Bonaventura tapped in at the far post.
Torino scored with their first genuine opportunity on 34 minutes, as centre-back Bremer made a surprising run from midfield, completing a give and go with Simone Verdi to spring the offside trap and beat Gigio Donnarumma from a tight angle.
Torino turned it around in second half with a totally unexpected brace from centre-back Bremer, this time his glancing header on Ola Aina’s cross from the left after a short free kick.
However, at the 91st minute, substitute Hakan Calhanoglu saw his scorcher from the edge of the box take a crucial deflection off Koffi Djidji to take it beyond Sirigu.
The Granata goalkeeper was finally beaten when Calhanoglu ran on to a pass from substitute Franck Kessie and hit a strike with such power that it bent back Sirigu’s glove to fly into the far top corner.
Moments later, Milan added a fourth with a well-worked move. Samu Castillejo’s low cross was laid off by Leao for Ibrahimovic to prod home from 10 yards. It was Ibra’s first goal at San Siro since his return to Milan.

I really watch the match, so many things is happening, we can see so many changes in the team, Milan is coming back to glory gradually..... Zlatan effect is even more preferred when he's on the bench because he don't seat as a player but he act as a coach boosting their ego even outside the pitch.... He's absolute a great leader for us and also its a great way for us to pay the tribute.... RIP KOBE
