- The rematch came five days after a contentious league finish, with a large, vocal home crowd galvanized by calls on social media.
- Milan’s late push was repelled by goalkeeper Christos Mandas, shortly after Rafael Leão missed a clear chance from close range.
- Bologna advanced earlier by defeating Parma 2-1 through goals from Jonathan Rowe and Santiago Castro, setting up Lazio–Bologna in the quarterfinals slated for early February.
