Inter Milan Stages Dramatic Comeback to Reach Coppa Italia Final Against Como

Inter Milan kept their hopes of a historic domestic double alive with a remarkable comeback victory over Como in the Coppa Italia semifinals. On Tuesday, April 21, 2026, at the San Siro in Milan, Inter overturned a two-goal deficit to win 3-2 in the second leg, advancing to the final with a 3-2 aggregate score.

The match began disastrously for the Serie A leaders, as Como took an early lead through Martin Baturina in the 32nd minute. Lucas Da Cunha doubled the visitors’ advantage just before halftime, scoring in the 48th minute to leave Inter facing a steep uphill battle.

However, Inter responded with characteristic resilience in the second half. Hakan Çalhanoglu sparked the comeback with a goal in the 69th minute, pulling one back for the home side. The Turkish international then completed his brace with another goal in the 86th minute to level the scores at 2-2.

With time running out, Inter found a winner in the 89th minute through Petar Sucic, whose late strike secured the 3-2 victory and sent the San Siro crowd into raptures. The goal completed a remarkable three-minute span that saw Inter score three times to turn defeat into triumph.

The victory means Inter advances to the Coppa Italia final, where they will await the winner of the other semifinal between Lazio and Atalanta, who played to a 2-2 draw in their first leg. Inter’s pursuit of a rare domestic double – winning both the Serie A league title and the Coppa Italia in the same season – remains extremely much alive.

For Como, the defeat was a bitter pill to swallow after holding a two-goal lead late into the match. Martin Baturina’s early goal and Lucas Da Cunha’s second-half strike had given the visitors hope of an upset, but Inter’s late surge ultimately proved too much to overcome.

The match showcased Inter’s mental strength and attacking quality, particularly from their experienced midfielders. Çalhanoglu’s two goals were crucial, while Sucic’s late winner demonstrated the depth of talent available to Inter head coach Cristian Chivu.

As Inter prepares for the Coppa Italia final, they will look to carry this momentum forward. The team’s ability to win matches even when trailing highlights their championship mentality, a quality that will be essential in their pursuit of silverware on multiple fronts this season.

What’s next for Inter Milan? The team will now focus on the Coppa Italia final while continuing their Serie A campaign, where they currently lead the table. Their next match will be in league play as they aim to maintain pressure on their rivals in the title race.
