COMO HOLD INTER AS COPPA ITALIA SEMI-FINAL REMAINS FINELY BALANCED.

Como 1907 ended their six-game losing run against Inter Milan with a disciplined
goalless draw in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final at the Stadio Giuseppe
Sinigaglia.
Featuring in the last four for the first time since 1986, Como were the sharper side
before the break, dominating possession and almost taking the lead when Mergim
Vojvoda curled narrowly wide.
Inter, despite sitting comfortably atop Serie A, failed to register a shot on target in a
flat first half.
Alex Valle squandered a clear chance early in the second period, while the visitors
offered little response, unable to test Jean Butez in a truly cautious contest.
The tie remains delicately poised ahead of the return leg, with both sides now turning
their focus back to their contrasting Serie A ambitions.
