Inter beat Genoa in Italian Cup

MILAN: Esteban Cambiasso and Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored extra-time goals to send Serie A champions Inter Milan into the Italian Cup quarter-finals with a 3-1 win over 10-man Genoa at the San Siro on Tuesday.

Cambiasso crashed in the rebound of a long range shot from fellow substitute Ibrahimovic in the 10th minute of extra time, with the Swede then slipping the ball through Genoa keeper Alessio Scarpi's legs shortly after to book a meeting with holders AS Roma next week.

Brazilian forward Adriano had headed in a Maxwell cross to give Inter the lead in the 75th but Marco Rossi's powerful diagonal strike four minutes later put the score even at 1-1 at the end of regulation time.
