Inter’s 2-1 Coppa Italia win sees Ange-Yoan Bonny extend his cup scoring run, making him an attractive anytime-scorer pick; punters might back Inter to score 2+ goals or Bonny to score in the next cup tie, with caution around rotation risk from squad depth.
Inter Milan reach Coppa Italia semi-finals with 2-1 win at Torino
Inter Milan advanced to the Coppa Italia semi-finals after a gritty 2-1 victory over Torino at the Stadio Brianteo. Ange-Yoan Bonny opened the scoring in the 35th minute with a header from Issiaka Kamate’s cross, and Andy Diouf doubled the lead two minutes into the second half following a low cross from Marcus Thuram. Sandro Kulenovic pulled one back for Torino midway through the second half but it proved merely a consolation.
Bonny continues hot cup form
The 22-year-old striker has now tallied seven goals in domestic competitions this season and followed up his goal in the previous Coppa Italia round (a 5-1 win over Venezia) with another decisive finish.
After the match Bonny said: “Against Torino, it’s always very complicated. But today we’re happy with the win.” He added that competition for places is fierce but welcomed: “We are many, and we’re doing very well. We’re at the manager’s disposal, and we hope we can do well for the rest of the season.”
Match recap and key moments
Inter fielded an understrength lineup but still produced the crucial moments. Bonny’s header before halftime set the tone, and Diouf’s quick second-half finish put Inter in control. Torino’s reply through Kulenovic came too late to change the outcome. The result extends Torino’s winless run against Inter to eight consecutive matches.
Tactical notes and squad dynamics
Cristian Chivu’s decision to start Bonny ahead of Lautaro Martinez and Francesco Pio Esposito underlines the depth and rotation available in Inter’s forward line.
Marcus Thuram’s role as a creator was pivotal, supplying the assist for Diouf’s goal, while Issiaka Kamate’s wing threat produced the opening chance.
Inter’s ability to score from set and open play will be central as they navigate the remainder of the cup.
Betting implications
Bonny’s recent cup form and the fact he was handed a start make him a credible anytime-scorer option in upcoming cup fixtures.
Markets to consider:
Bonny anytime scorer, Inter to score 2+ goals in cup ties, or Inter to progress in knockout markets.
Punters should factor in rotation risk—managerial choices in cup games can alter value—so check final lineups before staking.
