Milan giants play out dull Italian Cup semifinal stalemate
AC Milan and Inter Milan played out a disappointing goalless derby draw in the first leg of their Italian Cup semifinal on Tuesday. Milan, the nominal home side at a boisterous San Siro, had the better of the play and opportunities but could not convert their chances into goals and head into next month's second leg level with their local rivals. The away goals rule is still in force in the Italian Cup meaning Milan will have a small advantage when they are hosted by Inter for the decisive clash. "We played well, it was difficult but we have another leg to play," said Theo Hernandez. "We're giving our all and having a great season. We need to keep going and win. We had a lot of chances, but if you don't score you're not going to win."
