Joshua Zirkzee provided two excellent assists in extra-time as Bologna defeated Internazionale 2-1 in the Coppa Italia.

Inter began the game with Davy Klaassen in the starting eleven while Bologna decided to rest the in-form Joshua Zirkzee. Sydney van Hooijdonk began up front while Sam Beukema was in defence. Denzel Dumfries and Stefan de Vrij were missing for Inter.

The game ended 0-0 in normal time with Lauturo Martinez missing a penalty in the second half. However, Carlos Augusto made it 1-0 for Inter in the first half of extra-time.

Then Zirkzee, who came on in the 85th minute, inspired the comeback. After an excellent flick, he set up Beukema to equalise. Then he skipped past a challenge on halfway before playing in Dan Ndoye to net the winner.

Bologna progresses to the last eight of the competition while Inter are out.
