FABREGAS' SQUAD'S FEAT: Como eliminated Napoli, Milinkovic-Savic's magic and goal in vain! (VIDEO)
The day the "Bebis Babies" moved into legend too soon.
TL;DR
- Como defeated Napoli in the Coppa Italia quarterfinals via an eight-round penalty shootout.
- The match ended 1-1 after regular time, with Como scoring from a penalty by Martin Baturina in the 36th minute, and Napoli equalizing through Antonio Vergara early in the second half.
- Serbian goalkeeper Vanja Milinković-Savić was instrumental, saving a penalty and despite his own penalty hitting the crossbar and deflecting in, his performance was overshadowed by misses from teammates.
- Cesc Fabregas made a strategic substitution in the 82nd minute, removing a key player deemed not in ideal psychological form for penalties, a decision that proved correct.
- Como will play against Inter Milan in the semifinals, with the first leg scheduled for early March.
