Inter ease into Italian Cup semi-finals
Inter Milan eased into the semi-finals of the Italian Cup on Wednesday, beating Atalanta 3-0 to complete a 4-0 win on aggregate.
Atalanta had knocked out Juventus in the previous round, but looked more like the side that has sunk to the bottom of Serie A as they struggled against a second-string Inter team at the San Siro stadium. Alvaro Recoba opened the scoring just after the half hour, when strike
partner Julio Cruz beat the offside trap and slid the ball across the area for
the Uruguayan to tap home. Cruz sealed the result in the 55th minute when he headed Recoba's long-range cross past visiting keeper Alex Calderoni. Inter's game against Atalanta was played four weeks ahead of the remaining quarter-final second leg fixtures to avoid a clash with their Champions League match against Porto on March 15. In the semi-finals they will face either Cagliari or Sampdoria, whose quarter-final stands 2-0 in Cagliari's favour after the first leg.
