Inter doubled their lead in the 61st minute with a stunning counterattack. Dumfries fired a powerful shot from outside the penalty area, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance and putting the Nerazzurri firmly in control.

Atalanta thought they had pulled one back in the 72nd minute when Ederson found the net after a chaotic scramble in the box, but the goal was ruled out for offside.

Despite late pressure from the Bergamo side, Inter’s goalkeeper Jan Sommer made two crucial saves to deny Atalanta and preserve the clean sheet.

Inter now awaits the winner of the Juventus vs. Milan clash to determine their opponent in the final.
