Lazio beat Genoa, progress in Italian Cup

Substitutes Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Ciro Immobile have helped Lazio secure a 4-2 win over Genoa in the Italian Cup and a quarter-final against Inter Milan.

Lazio appeared to be in control after half an hour following goals from Filip Djordjevic and Wesley Hoedt.

Felipe Anderson had also seen his weak penalty saved by Genoa goalkeeper Eugenio Lamanna after Lucas Orban tripped Djordjevic.

However, strikes from Mauricio Pinilla and Goran Pandev in the final four minutes before halftime got Genoa right back into the match.

Milinkovic-Savic and Immobile were introduced shortly before the hour and the former put Lazio back in front in the 71st minute.

Immobile restored Lazio's two-goal advantage five minutes later with his third goal in as many matches.

Ocampos had hit the post in the 66th.

Earlier, second-division Cesena caused an upset by coming from behind to beat Sassuolo 2-1 with two late goals.
