Tuesday evening, Inter and Juventus left back to back in the first leg of the Italian Cup semi-final (1-1). Romelu Lukaku, brought on in the 69th minute, was decisive for the ‘Nerazzurri’ in added time. However, the Red Devil was forced off the pitch due to a celebration which cost him a second yellow card.
Juan Cuadrado (84th) opened the scoring with a shot that ended up in the back of Samir Handanovic’s net. At the end of the match, the tension was at its height and Inter obtained a penalty following an intervention by the VAR for a handball by Bremer. Lukaku (90 + 5th) won the psychological fight against Mattia Perin and saved Inter. After this goal, ‘Big Rom’ received a second yellow card because referee Davide Massa felt that he had provoked the opposing supporters during his celebration (90 + 5th).
After this equalizer, several players began to look for each other and despite the end of the match, Juan Cuadrado and Samir Handanovic took two red cards for unsportsmanlike conduct (90 + 8th).
