Udinese & cup goals conceded

Udinese have let in at least one goal in each of their last 12 Coppa Italia matches (total 24 goals conceded). The last time the Bianconeri kept a Coppa clean sheet was on 13 January 2004 when they drew 0-0 with Inter at the Stadio Friuli.

Udinese on target in 15 consecutive cup games at home

Udinese have failed to score in just one of their last 16 Tim Cup matches at the Stadio Friuli. Since their 0-0 home draw with Inter on 13 January 2004, the Bianconeri have scored in each of their 15 domestic cup matches played at home, netting a total of 34 goals.

No goal against Udinese for 239 minutes

Udinese haven't let in a goal in since Arturo Di Napoli's effort in the 31st minute of Messina 1-1 Udinese on 26 March 2006. That was 239 competitive minutes ago (last 59 minutes of that match plus entire games against Parma and Livorno).

Udinese & cup goals conceded

For the second time in their history Udinese go into a Coppa Italia return leg at home after a 1-0 defeat from the first leg. In the round of sixteen last season the Bianconeri lost 1-0 to Atalanta in Bergamo and overturned the result in the return with a 3-1 victory.

Inter looking to reach 9th final

Coppa Italia holders Inter are ninety minutes away from their 9th final. The Nerazzurri have reached the final in 1938/39, 1958/59, 1964/65, 1976/77, 1977/78, 1981/82, 1999/00 and 2004/05.

Inter have scored in each of their last 7 Coppa Italia trips (total 11 goals). The Nerazzurri last failed to score in a domestic cup match away from home on 13 January 2004 (Udinese 0-0 Inter).

Udinese looking to reach second final

Inter's long unbeaten run in cup

Inter unbeaten in Coppa away matches since 2002

UDINE - Tim Cup holders Inter drew 2-2 with Udinese at the Stadio Friuli to seal a 3-2 aggregate victory and reach the final of Italy's domestic cup competition for the ninth time in the club's history.

Santiago Solari added to his first-leg goal to put Inter in command after eight minutes and leave Udinese needing to score three times. The Argentine winger met Wome's low ball in from the left and hit it first time past Bianconeri shotstopper Morgan De Sanctis.

A lacklustre cup tie came alive in the final stages when Udinese equalised through Christian Obobo on 83 minutes. The Nigerian ran on to Baronio's through ball then shrugged off challenges from Materazzi and Burdisso before firing past Julio Cesar.

Inter were back in front three minutes later when David Pizarro scored against his ex-club with a precise diagonal shot. Udinese levelled a minute from time with Vincenzo Iaquinta sending Julio Cesar the wrong way from the penalty spot after foul on the Italian striker by Marco Materazzi.

In the two-legged final (3, 11 May) Inter face the winners of Wednesday evening's second semi-final return between Roma and Palermo (1st leg 2-1 to Palermo).
