Impressive performance at San Siro: Big night for Croatian future stars

San Siro got a late show. Inter came from two down to beat Como 3-2 in the Coppa Italia Semifinals, turning a tense night into a statement win. Hakan Calhanoglu struck twice before Petar Sučić arrived with the decisive finish three minutes from time.
A wild semifinal at San Siro
Como stunned the hosts with a crisp first‑half goal from Martin Baturina on 32 minutes, then doubled it just after the break through Lucas Da Cunha. Inter needed a spark and found two. Calhanoglu pulled one back on 69 minutes, then leveled with a header in the 86th. Sučić, on as a substitute, completed the turnaround in the 89th to tilt the tie in Inter’s favor.

Calhanoglu takes control
With 101 passes and six shots, the Turkish midfielder dictated the second half. He earned a 9.3 Sofascore Rating, the best on the pitch. His two goals came from clever timing and cleaner service as Inter piled on pressure, finishing with 72% possession after the interval.
Sučić’s instant impact
Introduced on the hour, Sučić changed the rhythm in midfield. He set up both Calhanoglu goals and then scored the winner himself for a 9.0 Sofascore Rating. Four key passes and a cool right‑footed strike capped a 30‑minute cameo that fit the moment perfectly.
What the numbers say
Inter’s dominance shows in the data on Sofascore: 63% possession, 22 shots to 16 and 41 touches in Como’s box. Como created more big chances overall, five to Inter’s two, and cleared their lines 37 times under heavy pressure. Goalkeepers stayed busy as well, with Inter’s Josep Martínez making six saves and Como’s Jean Butez stopping four. The only booking went to Máximo Perrone in stoppage time.
Standouts and context
Beyond Calhanoglu and Sučić, Baturina drove Como forward and posted a 7.3 Sofascore Rating, while Da Cunha led their press and finished one sweeping move. Nico Paz supplied an assist and three key passes for a 7.6. Inter’s bench also mattered, with Denzel Dumfries and Yann Bisseck shoring up the flanks late on.

This felt like a semifinal built on nerve and detail. Inter found theirs right when it counted.
