AC Milan advanced to the Coppa Italia semi-finals with a 3-1 victory over Roma at San Siro. Tammy Abraham, on loan from Roma, was pivotal for Milan. He netted twice in the first half, while Joao Felix scored on his debut to secure the win. This sets up a semi-final clash against either Inter or Lazio.

Abraham opened the scoring in the 16th minute with a header from Theo Hernandez's cross. Just before half-time, he doubled Milan's lead by finishing a well-executed team move, again assisted by Hernandez. This performance highlighted Abraham's impact against his parent club.

Roma's Artem Dovbyk reduced the deficit nine minutes into the second half. However, Joao Felix restored Milan's two-goal advantage with a skilful chip after coming off the bench. Tijjani Reijnders' own goal was disallowed due to an offside in the build-up, confirmed by VAR.

Abraham's performance was notable as he became only the third player since 2005-06 to score for both Roma and Milan in this competition. Marco Borriello and Stephan El Shaarawy are the other players who achieved this feat.

Milan has now reached the Coppa Italia semi-finals for the 25th time. Only Juventus and Inter have achieved this more often, with 36 and 29 appearances respectively. This milestone underscores Milan's consistent success in Italian football.

The match against Roma demonstrated Milan's attacking prowess and tactical discipline. With key players like Abraham and Hernandez performing well, they look forward to their next challenge in the tournament.
