Lukaku receives what should be the final booking of the game as he pokes the ball away from Fiorentina to waste some time as the hosts looked to take a free-kick.

A. Sánchez gets yellow.
Sanchez is booked for clattering through the back of Amrabat on the right-hand side.

Barella's cross causes some confusion in the Viola area before Perisic carelessly fouls Venuti at the far post to waste Inter's opportunity.
GOALLLLL! 2-1 INTER! In the dying stages of the game, Lukaku pops up to powerfully head past Terracciano from close range. Initially, Barella had coasted down the right-hand side, before getting his head up and producing the perfect delivery onto the head of the Belgian inside the area.
Barella races down the right-hand side and Biraghi fails to pressure the midfielder, which allows him to take his time and produce a cross onto the head of Lukaku, who grabs what seems to be the winner here.
117'
A. Ranocchia gets yellow.
Ranocchia, another who has accumulated a series of needless fouls, oversteps the mark one more time and referee Massa deems enough is enough, finally carding the Italian centre-back.
116'
Kolarov's outswinging set-piece gets flicked on at the near post by Lukaku and ends up going out for another corner, which Eriksen will take.
115'
Amrabat clips the heels of Brozovic, who is then caught in the face of a loose clearance on the touchline. After a quick confrontation, play resumes and Perisic's header gets deflected behind for a corner on the left-hand side.
114'
Will either side find a late, extra-time winner? Both sets of players are starting to look incredibly weary and the prospect of a penalty shoot-out is becoming increasingly likely.
112'
A. Hakimi gets yellow.
An accumulation of fouls in the last few minutes means that Hakimi is the next to go into Massa's book.
108'
Perisic brings possession down, fakes to shoot and then attempts to roll in Lukaku but the Belgian is caught on his heels, which allows Terracciano to rush out and intervene.

Scorer of the opener, Vidal, is replaced by the fresh legs of Brozovic.

END OF 90 MINUTES: FIORENTINA 1-1 INTER
90'
Prandelli's men are seeing a little bit more of possession as the game heads towards extra time, with Venuti enjoying particular joy against Perisic down the right-hand side. The fourth official then indicates there will only be two minutes of added time for either side to find a winner.
89'
Eriksen and Sanchez get in the way of one another as the pair queue up to unleash a long-range effort towards Terracciano's goal. Due to the confusion, Amrabat manages to intercept before clearing down the left.
87'
The Viola spurns a great chance to break from Inter's corner, as Vlahovic overhits his pass down the left-hand side, allowing Ranocchia to recover and play back towards Handanovic. Unsurprisingly, as both sides chase a late winner, this game has opened up.

78'
Hakimi towers above every one at the back post but then Amrabat is on hand to hook a clearance towards Kouame, who is then fouled by Eriksen.
77'
Sanchez is lazy in his movements and ends up being caught five yards offside, which gives the assistant an easy decision on the near side. Terracciano then launches the free-kick to the right, where Venuti cuts inside and sends a tame left-footed effort into the hands of Handanovic.
75'
A reminder that if the scores remain level, this game will go to extra time and then, if required, penalties. With a busy Serie A schedule coming up, Conte will be keen to avoid this tie going so far but, at the same time, will not want to throw away this Coppa Italia tie.
72'

A. Hakimi enters the game and replaces A. Young.
Martinez, who spurned a glorious second-half opportunity, is substituted off for Lukaku.
Hakimi comes on at right-wing back and replaces Young, who had been causing Biraghi problems all game.
68'
Conte may have wanted to rest his key players but, with the game there to be won, how much longer will he leave it before he sends on the likes of Lukaku or Brozovic to chase this Coppa Italia victory?
67'

65'
Down the other end, Ranocchia climbs the highest to head away Biraghi's corner before Eriksen wins a throw-in for his side deep inside the visitors' half.
64'
Perisic takes one touch out of his feet and then drills an inviting cross across the face of goal, where Martinez is inches away from getting the crucial touch past Terracciano. Unfortunately for Conte's men, the Argentine cannot get the decisive touch and the Croatian's cross races out for a throw-in on the left-hand side.
63'
De Vrij's first involvement sees him attempt to rifle a pass out to Perisic on the left-hand side, but the centre-back's creative effort is far too strong and sails out for a goal-kick.
61'
S. de Vrij enters the game and replaces M. Škriniar.
Skriniar, who was booked in the first half, comes off in a like-for-like swap with De Vrij.
60'

57'
C. Kouamé has scored a goal for Fiorentina!

56'
Bonaventura rather selfishly aims for the near post but manages to send his set-piece into the wall, who do their job and turn it behind for a corner.
55'
Kouame gets to the loose ball first near the byline on the left and Skriniar then needlessly clatters into the forward to offer Prandelli's team a free-kick in a good area.
54'
Inter move the ball quickly to start a counter-attack, which ends as quickly as it started, with Martinez being dispossessed by Milenkovic inside the home side's half.
53'
L. Venuti enters the game and replaces M. Cáceres.
Caceres is the second of the Viola's double change, as he is brought off for Venuti on the right-hand side.
52'
D. Vlahović enters the game and replaces V. Eysseric.
Vidal gestures to the referee that Castrovilli should be cautioned for pulling back the Chilean midfielder, after he had beaten the Viola man in midfield. After exchanging a few words, the away side clip the free-kick down the right-hand side, where Martinez fails to keep it in play, under the pressure of Quarta.
Prandelli makes a double change, the first of which sees Vlahovic replace Eysseric, who was booked in the first half.
49'
Castrovilli has been industrious for the hosts in this game, on this occasion, he wins possession back, races inside and then sprays out to Caceres, who, on the right-hand touchline, fails to control the ball and it trickles out for an Inter throw-in.

Conte's men drop a little bit deeper as they appear content to defend their one-goal lead before half-time and invite Prandelli's side to enjoy a rare spell of possession.
45'
M. Škriniar gets yellow.
Perhaps still furious from the original penalty decision, Skriniar drags Bonaventura to the floor and becomes the first Inter name in the referee's book.
There will be three minutes of added time as Skriniar cynically brings down Bonaventura to offer the hosts a free-kick from the left-hand side.
40'
Penalty goal scored by A. Vidal for Inter Milan!
GOALLLL! 1-0 INTER! Terracciano dives to his right but Vidal smashes the penalty low down the middle to open the scoring from the spot.
36'
The home side have the chance to counter-attack but Castrovilli's final throughball towards Bonaventura lacks the quality, which allows Ranocchia to slide in, intercept and avert the danger.
35'
From the resulting corner, Kouame smashes into Sanchez this time, instead of his own man, and manages to head a powerful clearance far down the left-hand side.
34'
All of the joy for Conte's men is coming down the right-hand side. On this occasion, Young races away for the third time this half, before his cross from the byline gets turned behind for a corner by Quarta.
30'
Milenkovic is the next to slam into Martinez, leaving the Argentine clutching his leg in agony again. When the forward returns to his feet, Perisic dances one way then the other before sending a cross into the hands of Terracciano.
27'
Bonaventura is extremely late to his tackle with Martinez and, well after the ball has been played, catches the shin of the Inter forward. Referee Massa deems it enough to give Bonaventura the second caution of the game.
26'
G. Bonaventura gets yellow.
24'
The visitors comfortably deal with Fiorentina's second corner of the game, as Young averts the danger with a hooked clearance down the left. Martinez gives chases to the loose ball but Amrabat is once again on hand, doing his defensive duties and playing backwards to Terracciano.
22'
Kouame is forced to the floor by the challenge of Kolarov and the hosts appeal for a penalty. Referee Massa sees it differently and agrees with Conte's men, as he instead opts to award a goal-kick, which Handanovic launches down the pitch.
21'
Martinez looks to have escaped the attentions of the Viola's midfield, only for Amrabat to intercept. However, the visitors regain possession and race down the other end, where Terracciano is then forced to parry away Young's low cross towards the near post.
18'
Eriksen attempts to play the decisive throughball but Biraghi steps inside to intervene, with Young ready to pounce behind him. Conte's men then enjoy a prolonged spell of possession, which then ends as Vidal needlessly fouls Biraghi on the left-hand side.
16'
The hosts' first corner of the game bounces all over the place before Sanchez takes control of the situation, bringing the ball down and advancing down the right-hand side, where Vidal then loses out to Julio. After a quick ball change, play resumes with a throw-in to the Viola.
14'
Ranocchia sends an aimless pass forward, which trickles through to the feet of Terracciano. The hosts then look to work it down the right-hand side but the move lacks quality, allowing Inter to intercept and regain possession through Kolarov.
12'
Eysseric needs to be careful here, he has already gone into the book and he has just clattered Gagliardini with a high foot near the halfway line. Luckily for the hosts, the referee gives the Fiorentina man the benefit of the doubt and just awards the visitors a free-kick, with no further punishment for the forward.
10'
Milenkovic enjoys a rare venture forward and marks the occasion with a wild right-footed shot from the right of the area, which travels well wide of Handanovic's goal to the left.
8'
Eriksen races towards the edge of the area, where his right-footed effort is blocked by the chest of Igor. The move then breaks down as Gagliardini handles the ball when attempting to recycle possession.
6'
V. Eysseric gets yellow.
Martinez intercepts in the middle of the park and looks to break before Eysseric hacks at the forward's ankles, which rightfully earns him the first yellow card of the game.
4'
The front two of Martinez and Sanchez look to link-up inside the Viola's area, however, the latter is caught offside, gifting possession back to the hosts.
3'
A chance falls to the feet of Martinez inside the D but the Argentine fails to control the ball and the opportunity escapes the visitors.
2'
The early signs show that the visitors are also playing a three-man defence, with Kolarov slotting in as the third centre-back, while Perisic and Young occupy the wing-back roles.

Referee Davide Massa blows his whistle to get this Serie A fixture underway!
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Coppa Italia round-of-16 tie between Fiorentina and Inter.
After crashing out of Europe, Antonio Conte may see the Coppa Italia as a perfect opportunity to gain his first silverware at Inter. The visitors, who are second in Serie A, most recently drew with Roma, while Fiorentina defeated Cagliari 1-0.
The players are making their way onto the pitch and shortly it will be time for kick-off.
INTER (4-2-3-1): Samir Handanovic; Ashley Young; Milan Skriniar, Andrea Ranocchia, Aleksandsar Kolarov; Roberto Gagliardini, Arturo Vidal; Christian Eriksen, Ivan Perisic, Alexis Sanchez; Lautaro Martinez.
SUBS: Achraf Hakimi, Marcelo Brozovic, Alessandro Bastoni, Romelu Lukaku, Stefan de Vrij, Nicola Barella, Daniele Padelli, Ionut Radu, Stefano Sensi.
SUBS: Antonio Barreca, Lorenzo Venuti, Joseph Alfred Duncan, Borja Valero, Dusan Vlahovic, Jose Callejon, Christian Dalle Mura, Dimo Krastev, German Pezzella, Tofol Montiel, Barlomiej Dragowski, Federico Brancolini.
FIORENTINA (3-5-2): Pietro Terracciano; Nikola Milenkovic, Igor Julio, Lucas Martinez Quarta; Cristiano Biraghi, Martin Caceres, Giacomo Bonaventura, Gaetano Castrovilli, Sofyan Amrabat; Christian Kouame, Valentin Eysseric.
Looking ahead to the next 45, Prandelli may introduce the likes of Callejon or Vlahovic to chase the game, given the hosts have lacked any real attacking impetus up top. In contrast, Conte may be reluctant to make too many changes, keeping his star players like Lukaku and Brozovic on the bench, with a view to giving them a rest before they get back into action in Serie A.
Neither side could find a late winner so this Coppa Italia tie goes to extra time! Vidal had initially given the visitors the lead from the spot, before Kouame's second-half strike brought the scores back to level. Sanchez and Martinez in particular spurned great chances for Conte's side, while Handanovic was rarely called upon at the other end. Nevertheless, this tie remains unsettled and the possibility of penalties lingers too.
Sanchez and Eriksen test Terracciano in the first 15 minutes of extra time but neither side can find the crucial third goal in this Coppa Italia tie. If there is no goal in the next 15 minutes of extra time, this cup tie will go to penalties.
That is all from this Coppa Italia tie, until next time!
After progressing through to the next stage of this domestic cup, Conte's attentions will now turn back to Serie A, where they next host Juventus on Sunday, as they look to close the gap on league-leaders Milan. Fiorentina, whose Coppa Italia hopes ended here, sit in 12th and face a tough trip to Napoli next in the league.
