The tricolor porter of AC Milan managed a fantastic stop this Wednesday against Inter, in the semi-final return of the Italian Cup.

Three weeks after the draw (1-1) of the first round of the Italian Cup semi-final between them, Inter Milan and AC Milan meet this Wednesday in Giuseppe Meazza for the return match. More than disappointing in Serie A, the Milan players managed to register two goals to carry 0-2. It was then that the Inter offered a golden opportunity to reduce the gap, but Mike Maignan shone.

In the sixtieth minute of play, the Nerazzurri obtained a corner. Mounted for the occasion, Stefan de Vrij took over the ball in the middle of the race. She took the direction of the opposing nets when suddenly, Mike Maignan plunged to the ground to succeed in a decisive as it is masterful.

Complicated period for inter

Inter Milan has experienced a slightly more complicated period lately. Despite their qualification in the semi-finals of the Champions League after a draw conceded at home against Bayern Munich (2-2), the men of Simone Inzaghi fell for four days later in the league, conceding the defeat against Bologna in the stoppage (1-0). A defeat that place them in a dangerous position.

Even if it remains the leader, the Inter now has the same number of points as Naples (2nd). This Wednesday against Milan, Simone Inzaghi changed four players in the 53rd minute, a sign of her annoyance against the pale performance of his own. Still in the race on three paintings, the Inter could already have left the Italian Cup if it does not score at least two goals before the final whistle.
