End of 2nd Half
21:54
FULL TIME: FIORENTINA 1-2 INTER
Inter are Coppa Italia champions once again!
94'
TIME RUNNING OUT
Inter are looking good! Lukaku's shot is deflected out for a corner and I imagine they willl take their time over this...
92'
JOVIC HEADS WIDE...AGAIN
Firoentina are camped in Inter's half, with the Nerazzurri defending deep with a back five.
A cross comes in from the right and its glanced goalwards by Jovic, but he's off target again as it flies wide of the far post.
90'
FIVE MINUTES OF ADDED TIME!
Fasten those seatbelts...
88'
GONZALEZ ON FIRE
Gonzalez causes all sorts of problems for Inter's defence again - he's been terrific tonight. He bursts between two defenders but his shot is blocked.
He still gets to the ball before Hadanovic to nod it back across goal, but Inter just about manage to clear their lines. Anything could happen in these final few minutes!
83'
CORREA ON, MARTINEZ OFF
He leaves the pitch as the match-winning player - will it stay that way?

JOVIC AGAIN SHOULD SCORE!
Dodo does brilliantly to loft a cross up for Jovic, unmarked, at the back post, but he guides his header wide as he goes across goal. What a miss.
81'
HUGE HANDANOVIC SAVE!
He's kept them in front! Jovic gets on the end of a through ball and holds off his marker to get a shot away but Handanovic throws himself low at the ground and parries it away!
79'
BARELLA OFF TARGET
Barella finds some space on the edge of the area, but curls a shot wide and high. Got that completely wrong.
78'
CONCERN FOR HANDA
Heart in mouth moment for Handanovic! A horrible ball loops in the air for him to catch and Cabral leaps to challenge for it. The keeper spills the ball into his own net, but breathes a sigh of relief when he sees a foul is called.
77'
GOSENS MISSES A SITTER!
Lukaku causes problems again, this time beating his man and fizzing a cross to the back post, but Gosens can't get his feet right and blasts wide of an open goal.
75'
BIRAGHI TAKES AIM
Good effort from BIraghi, who hits a dipping, bending shot from distance that flies not far over the bar. Fiorentina have definitely looked the likelier in the second half.
74'
CHANCE FOR FIORENTINA!
Gonzalez is the danger man again, producing a powerful effort that requires a diving save from Handanovic to push it around the post.
