Tammy Abraham scored a first-half brace to Theo Hernandez's double assist, while Joao Felix netted on his debut, for Milan's easy victory over the Wolfess - 3-1
AC Milan did a fantastic job in the recently finished transfer window! At least it seems so after the Rossoneri's 3-1 victory over Roma, for the Coppa Italia semifinals.
The first half belonged to the "natives," Tammy Abraham and Theo Hernandez, as the former netted a brace, while the latter assisted both times. Roma managed to return after the break thanks to Artem Dovbyk's goal but that was it.
As for Milan's reinforcements, Kyle Walker hit the bar, and Santiago Gimenez's goal was disallowed, but the Mexican managed to assist Joao Felix, who netted on his debut and already became the fan favourite at San Siro.

Milan booked the ticket for the Coppa Italia semifinals already before the break, as the Rossoneri awaited it with a 2-0 lead. Tammy Abraham was the hero, scoring a first-half brace, both times to Theo Hernandez's assists - first with a precise header and then with a cold-blooded finish.
Roma had their chances over Paulo Dybala and Eldor Shomurodov, while Niccolo Pisilli hit the bar. Regardless, Mike Maignan's net remained intact.
3 - Tammy Abraham is the 3rd player to score for both #Roma and #ACMilan in the #CoppaItalia in the last 20 seasons (since 2005/06), after Marco Borriello and Stephan El Shaarawy. Chameleon.#MilanRoma #CoppaItaliaFrecciarossa pic.twitter.com/iBivBIoyz6

On his debut with the Rossoneri, Kyle Walker was close to scoring, but his header hit the bar. However, none of Milan's goals and chances discouraged the Wolfess, as Roma managed to reduce the gap in the 55th minute over Artem Dovbyk, who was subbed in during the break and scored a goal which significantly heated the visitors' hopes.

Following Roma's goal, Sergio Conceicao decided to give a chance to another recent addition, Santiago Gimenez, who managed to score, but his goal was disallowed for offside. What Walker and the Mexican failed to do, Joao Felix managed, as the Portuguese found the net, making it 3-1 in his first appearance in front of the San Siro crowd!

Roma quickly tried to bounce back once more, but Tijjani Reijnders' own goal also did not stand for another offside. The Wolfess ultimately did not have enough strength for a comeback, so the Rossoneri scheduled the duel with either their city rivals Inter or Lazio.
