Roma and Milan fire

AC Milan and AS Roma reached the last four of the Italian Cup after enjoying high scoring wins in their quarter-final, second-leg matches on Wednesday.

RE-LIVE: All Wednesday's Coppa Italia action

Marco Delvecchio scored a first-half hat-trick as Roma beat Serie B club Vicenza 6-3 to set up a derby clash with Lazio in the semi-finals, while Clarence Seedorf was on target twice for Milan in their 5-2 win at Chievo.

Roma, who led 2-1 from last week's first leg, were at full strength but suffered an early setback when Brazilian midfielder Jeda fired Vicenza ahead on the night with a low drive in the fifth minute. Fabio Capello's side, struggling in mid-table in Serie A, responded five minutes later when Cafu burst down the right flank and crossed to Francesco Totti, who put in Delvecchio with a neat back-heel and the Roma striker fired home.

Delvecchio then put Roma ahead on the night in the 21st minute when he converted from another Cafu cross after Totti had put the Brazilian wing back clear with a defence-splitting pass.

Totti was in inspired form and created Roma's third goal in the 37th minute when his intelligent reverse pass gave Delvecchio space on the left flank and the lanky forward cut inside and completed his hat-trick with an accomplished finish.

Two minutes later Totti again exposed the gaps in the Vicenza defence with a through ball to Emerson, which the Brazilian midfielder took full advantage of with a confident strike. Vicenza pulled one back on the stroke of halftime when Stefan Schwoch was brought down by Roma goalkeeper Francesco Antonioli and the former Napoli forward rose to convert the spot kick.

Cafu completed the rout, and an 8-4 aggregate victory, three minutes from the end via the penalty spot.

Milan were ahead inside the first minute at Chievo's Bentegodi stadium -- Georgian defender Kakha Kaladze hooking home from close range after Chievo's former Milan striker, German Oliver Bierhoff, made a hash of an attempt to head clear. Dutch midfielder Seedorf doubled Milan's lead in the 43rd minute, finishing off a swift counter-attack and on the stroke of halftime Danish striker Jon Dahl Tomasson completed a flowing 10-pass move by converting a low cross from Cristian Brocchi.

Seedorf claimed his second and Milan's fourth in the 63rd minute before Carlo Ancelotti's side eased off and allowed Chievo to get a small foothold with a fine strike from Luigi Beghetto. Nine minutes from time Daniele Franceschini pulled another one back for Verona with a fine volley from an Ivano Della Morte cross, but there was still time for substitute Samuele Dalla Bona to grab a fifth, from close range, for the Serie A leaders.

The result was Chievo's second heaviest loss inside a week following their 4-1 league defeat at home to Juventus on Sunday and confirmed Milan's strength in depth as Ancelotti was able to watch the win with many of his key players resting. Milan, who have reached the last four for the third successive season, will meet Perugia or Juventus, who play on Thursday with the champions trailing 2-1 from last week's game.
