Full-time: Cristiano Ronaldo at the double as Juventus take a 2-1 victory back to Turin for the second-leg, meaning Inter will need to score at least twice to advance to the Coppa Italia final.

Yellow card! Sanchez is going to miss the second-leg following a lunge on Chiesa. Needless.

Juve have nearly everyone behind the ball as Inter apply the pressure in search of a late equaliser. There have been mistakes, but this has been a much more mature performance from Pirlo's side compared to that chastening league defeat to Inter two weeks ago.
83'
Inter have their first bit of defending to do for about 10 or 15 minutes as Juve enjoy a spell of possession in the opponents' half.
80'
Inter win a free-kick on the left flank. Eriksen's deep delivery is headed clear by Demiral, who has been excellent in defence for Juve.
77'
Once again Juve lose the ball while trying to play out from the back. Eriksen has plenty of time to assess his options but scuffs a poor shot at Buffon.

Juve sub: Ronaldo, on a hat-trick, comes off shaking his head as he's replaced by Morata. It's a switch that makes sense, really.
75'
Barella tries an acrobatic effort but fails to hit the target. Time is running out for Inter, but this one is far from over.

Inter sub: Christian Eriksen is on and Vidal is not best pleased to be coming off.
71'
The game is threatening to open up now, and here come Inter again. Vidal is ponderous as he receives the ball on the edge of the box but gets his pass off to Martinez. His curler is never troubling Buffon, though.

Juve sub: Bernadeschi makes way for Danilo.

Buffon to the rescue! The Juve goalkeeper goes some way to making amends for his earlier mistake as he makes a big save to deny Darmian from point-blank range!
67'
Here come Inter again, with Sanchez unloading with a shot from the edge of the box. De Ligt makes the block on this occasion as Juve continue to stand firm defensively.

Inter sub: A straight swap as Ivan Perisic comes on for Young, who has been disappointing.
65'
Twenty five minutes remaining. Inter are enjoying the lion's share of possession and look the more likely to score. Can they find a leveller?
63'
Sanchez runs into trouble on the edge of the Juve penalty area as another Inter attack collapses.
