Match Events
30' Great save from Handanovic
Handanovic to the rescue for Inter as he gets down in a flash, using his legs to keep out a fierce effort by Immobile from close range, with the striker turning smartly and firing first-time on the end of a loose ball.
50' CLOSE! Handanovic makes a great save
Handanovic soars through the air quite spectacularly to parry a lovely effort by Luis Alberto over the bar! The keeper produces an even better save stemming from the ensuing corner, but that one won't count in the stats as the offside flag was raised.
62' CHANCE! Joao Mario's shot saved
Joao Mario stings the fingertips of Strakosha, who just keeps out his blistering drive at full-stretch before Candreva skies the rebound from six yards!
89' Excellent save from Handanovic!
A brilliant piece of goalkeeping from the Inter man as Caicedo is played through by Immobile, one on one with the keeper, but Handanovic stays with him patiently, diving out to his left to get a hand to his eventual effort! Incredible!
94' An absolutely glorious chance for Inter!
A cross falls kindly for Politano at the far post, but Strakosha makes a stunning save to deny him from point-blank range, before Martinez scuffs his rebound horribly over the bar with the goal gaping!
108' GOAL! Inter 0-1 Lazio (Immobile)
LAZIO HAVE THE BREAKTHROUGH! 1-0! They've huffed, they've puffed and they've finally blown the house down! Handanovic is beaten at long last and it's a bit of a scrappy goal from the visitors as Immobile's effort squeaks in at the near post with the aid of a deflection off D'Ambrosio.
125' Penalty Goal! Inter 1-1 Lazio (Icardi)
PENALTY AND A RED CARD! The foul was deemed to have occurred just inside the area, and a penalty is awarded! Incredible drama at the death! And to top things off, Radu is issued a red card! It's not entirely clear what for just yet, but he must have said something to the referee.
With the final kick of extra-time, Icardi rolls his spot-kick just under the reach of Strakosha and parity is restored! Unbelievable!
Match Report
Lazio reached the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia thanks to a penalty shoot-out win over Inter after a 1-1 draw at San Siro on Thursday.
Ciro Immobile's scuffed and deflected strike eluded the otherwise-brilliant Samir Handanovic and looked set to secure Lazio's progress until Mauro Icardi levelled with a penalty with seconds remaining.
Lucas Leiva struck what proved to be the winning spot-kick after former Roma man Radja Nainggolan saw his effort saved, ensuring another quarter-final triumph for Lazio and placing more pressure on Inter boss Luciano Spalletti.
