Match Events
3'Penalty Goal! Inter 1-0 Benevento (Icardi)
INTER 1-0 BENEVENTO! Icardi places the ball out of Montipo's reach to open his account for 2019. An ominous start for Benevento, who have 87 minutes to respond.
7'GOAL! Inter 2-0 Benevento (Candreva)
INTER 2-0 BENEVENTO! Seven minutes played and Inter already have themselves a second goal - this is not looking good for Benevento! Icardi sends a header against the post but Candreva is there to drill the rebound into the bottom corner.
46'GOAL! Inter 3-0 Benevento (Dalbert)
INTER 3-0 BENEVENTO! Dalbert rifles the ball into the roof of the net to kill off the tie before half-time. Perisic plays a perfectly-weighted pass that is crying out for the full-back to smash home, and he does exactly that to get off the mark for Inter.
48'GOAL! Inter 4-0 Benevento (Lautaro)
This is a brilliant fourth goal from Inter. A move that starts at the back culminates in Persic chipping the ball into the middle for Martinez to power a header past Montipo from six yards.
58'GOAL! Inter 4-1 Benevento (Insigne)
INTER 4-1 BENEVENTO! Padelli is furious with his team-mates as Insigne sends his free-kick around the wall and into the bottom corner. A strange goal for Inter to concede, but it will surely be nothing more than a consolation.
66'GOAL! Inter 5-1 Benevento (Lautaro)
Martinez picks out the bottom corner of the net once teed up by Perisic to double his personal tally for the day. This was another sweeping Inter move, with Perisic helping the ball onto Martinez to do the rest. Benevento believe that there was an offside in the build-up, but after checking VAR the referee lets the goal stand.
74'GOAL! Inter 5-2 Benevento (Bandinelli)
Bandinelli pulls Benevento back to within three goals of Inter with a fine header at the back post. The midfielder, played onside by Brozovic, outjumps his marker to nod Improta's cross into the back of the net.
95' GOAL! Inter 6-2 Benevento (Candreva)
INTER 6-2 BENEVENTO! Candreva caps the scoring with a quality sixth goal, adding a final flourish with his breakaway goal. The midfielder takes the ball past a couple of players and finds the bottom corner of the net.
Match report
Inter set up a Coppa Italia quarter-final showdown with Lazio by beating second-tier Benevento 6-2 at a nearly empty San Siro on Sunday.
The seven-time winners, forced to play the tie behind closed doors after racial abuse was aimed at Kalidou Koulibaly in last month's meeting with Napoli, were two up early on through Mauro Icardi's penalty and Antonio Candreva's measured strike.
Luciano Spalletti's side put the game to bed on the stroke of half-time courtesy of Dalbert's powerful finish, with Lautaro Martinez adding the fourth after the interval.
