Antonio Conte’s side dominated from the start and took the lead after just 22 seconds when Lukaku capitalized on an error from Cagliari midfielder Nahitan Nandez. Lukaku thought he had doubled his tally 10 minutes later but it was ruled out for offside. Inter did extend their lead in the 22nd minute when Borja Valero bundled in a cross from close range. He originally hit the underside of the crossbar but managed to turn in the rebound. Lukaku got his second shortly after the interval before Christian Oliva reduced the deficit for Cagliari. But Andrea Ranocchia restored Inter’s three-goal advantage nine minutes from time. Other Matches Holders Lazio will face Napoli in the quarter-finals after both beat second-division teams.
