13 February 2020 The first round of the Italian Cup semifinal ends in a tie: 1-1 at San Siro between Milan and Juventus. Pioli's team does not reap what has been sown, the bianconeri come out unscathed after a faded test. Return match at Allianz Stadium on Wednesday 4th March.

Even without scoring, the Rossoneri as in the derby play an excellent first half, at high intensity. The dangers, for Buffon, all come from the distance. At 2 'right Kessie slightly out, with a powerful but central Rebic shot (5'). At 22 'Calabria tries from the edge, the Juventus goalkeeper flies and lifts over the crossbar. Six minutes later it is the turn of the Croatian Rebic again, with a low shot that Buffon neutralizes in two stages. Sarri's team too wait, Ronaldo not very involved, only chance on the 36 ': Donnarumma opposes, with some difficulty, the diagonal of Cuadrado.

At the start of the second half (47 ') it is still a reactive Buffon who keeps his feet up with an important save on the left-handed close-up of an ubiquitous Rebic. Without success the subsequent attempts by Castillejo (phone call conclusion) and Cuadrado (high). At 60 ', Buffon's hand is still to deny the advantage first to Ibrahimovic and then to Theo Hernandez (left soiled by Ramsey), a few seconds and Milan deservedly passes: cross Castillejo, Rebic anticipates net De Sciglio and puts it in the corner (61 '). At 71 'Milan in ten: Theo Hernandez, already admonished, is expelled from Valeri for a tough entry on Dybala. The game seems to have said, instead in the 91st minute Juve draws on penalty: Calabria's arm on Ronaldo's acrobatic turn, Valeri is called by the Var and indicates the spot, CR7 does not forgive. Very tight result for Milan, still mocked.
