The central figure in the match was Ibrahimovic, who sent Rossoneri to the lead in the 31st minute. However, after a conflict with former Manchester United teammate Romel Lukaku, he received a yellow card and in the 58th minute for Aleksandar Kolarov’s foul was eliminated after the second yellow.
Romelu Lukaku and Zlatan Ibrahimović clearly disagreeing on something tonight. Considering Ibrahimovic ended up being sent off and Lukaku has just scored the equaliser, I think it’s clear who has came out of this one better! pic.twitter.com/gslFCdkkW0

Inter took advantage of the numerical advantage in the 71st minute, when he equalized Lukaku from the penalty. The home team then pushed the opponents, but for a long time they could not overcome the defense of AC. Christian Eriksen took advantage as he curled the equalizing goal into the top corner, just out of the reach of the keeper. Nerazzurri will find out the name of the opponent for the semifinals on Wednesday.
