Inter 1 Lazio 1 (aet, 3-4 on penalties): Lucas wins shoot-out after dramatic draw

Lazio reached the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia thanks to a penalty shoot-out win over Inter after a 1-1 draw at San Siro on Thursday.

Ciro Immobile's scuffed and deflected strike eluded the otherwise-brilliant Samir Handanovic and looked set to secure Lazio's progress until Mauro Icardi levelled with a penalty with seconds remaining.

Lucas Leiva struck what proved to be the winning spot-kick after former Roma man Radja Nainggolan saw his effort saved, ensuring another quarter-final triumph for Lazio and placing more pressure on Inter boss Luciano Spalletti.

Handanovic twice denied Luis Alberto before he produced a stunning reaction stop to deny Senad Lulic, although the offside flag would have disallowed any goal.
