GOOOOAALLL FOR INTERRRR!!! Lautaro sends the San Siro into delirium!!! It was a nice one-two between him and Lukaku, whose eventual shot is too strong for Maignan, as sees it fly into the bottom corner.
Game's first yellow goes to Thiaw after he attacked Lautaro to stop him getting away on the break, deserved.

Messias goes in hard on Calhanoglu from behind... clear foul that.

HT: Inter 0-0 Milan (2-0). All things as they were when we kicked off here after an entertaining first forty-five. Both sides have had their chances, but both keepers have had a solid evening between their respective sticks here, preventing the opener for both outfits. Milan will certainly have to start this second half quickly if they're to force something out of this semi.
SUB for Inter: Brozovic coming on for Mikhitaryan after the Turk is forced off after picking up a knock.
39'
Great save from Maignan!! A long-range free-kick was popped into the box, before being flicked on towards the Milan goal, but Maignan was on hand to react in time to bat it away.
38'
Leaooooo goes within whiskers!! The Portuguese winger bursts into the box, but his shot goes across the face of goal... he'd been kept very quiet up until that point.

Start of match
PRVW
Both sides coming out here at the San Siro, here we goooo!
PRVW
The Inter squad arrived safe and sound after the fear they weren't going to arrive due to that trouble getting to the ground.
PRVW
An array of changes from AC Milan tonight after their shock 2-0 loss to Spezia. The squad who played that one were put talked into shape by the Milan fans themselves!
PRVW
Just three of Inter's starting eleven against Sassuolo are playing from the get-go tonight... Inzaghi was clearly saving his men for this one.
PRVW
AC Milan line-ups CONFIRMED: Maignan; Calabria, Thiaw, Tomori, Theo; Junior Messias, Tonali, Krunic; Brahim, Giroud and Leao.
PRVW
Inter Line-up CONFIRMED: Onana; Darmian, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Çalhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Lautaro and Dzeko.
So, Inter Milan are officially the home side for this one tonight, despite both sides sharing the same ground! That means the normal 'advantage' sides have of playing at home and away in the different legs is virtually scrapped in this two-legged affair.
PRVW
Stage is set for this one! What an arena... the cathedral of football?
Clement Turpin will referee the clash and Jerome Brisard will be the VAR. They will be accompanied by Nicolas Danos (assistant referee), Benjamin Pages (assistant referee) and Stephanie Frappart (fourth official).

Inter Milan have won all of their last five matches - against Lazio, Hellas Verona, Roma, AC Milan and Sassuolo, while AC Milan have won just one of their last five games - against Lazio.
PRVW
Of course, if tonight's game ends in a draw on aggregate, we'll be heading straight to extra-time, with the infamous 'away goals' rule no longer standing!
PRVW

PRVW
Inter Milan POSSIBLE line-ups: Onana (GK); Darmian, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Martinez and Dzeko.
PRVW
Without further ado, let's take a look at some possible line-ups for this one...

Milan have injury concerns in star Rafael Leao, and the side were unsure as to whether he would be back in time. However, the boss assured that if he was fit, he would play.
PRVW
The Nerazzurri are already up by two goals to the good after getting one over their rivals, so AC Milan will have to bring their A game to make the final.
