NEW DELHI, Dec 21: Lautaro Martínez had a penalty saved as two-time defending champion Inter Milan was eliminated from the Italian Cup by Bologna, which came back to win 2-1 at San Siro after extra time.

Carlos Augusto headed in a corner for Inter to open the scoring in the second minute of extra time.
Lautaro limped off shortly afterwards. He had been receiving treatment on his left thigh after normal time.He appeared to be in tears as he covered his face with a blanket on the bench.
Bologna turned the match around with two goals in the final two minutes from Beukema and Ndoye. Both were set up by Zirkzee. (PTI)
