A Patrick Cutrone double in extra time secured Milan's passage into the last eight of the Coppa Italia after a hard-fought 2-0 win over Sampdoria at the Luigi Ferraris.
Sampdoria began the game well, getting forward whenever possible and were testing Pepe Reina in the visiting goal, but couldn't find a way past him in the opening stages. Then on the stroke of half time after a sluggish first 45 minutes from the visitors, Milan had two golden opportunities.
Franck Kessie played a lovely ball through the Sampdoria defence which Gonzalo Higuaín got on the end of, managing to get his shot away but failing to steer it on target.
