MILAN - Samuel Eto'o scored twice to help
holders Inter Milan beat Genoa 3-2 in the Italian Cup last 16 on
Wednesday.
The Cameroon striker opened the scoring on 15 minutes and
doubled his tally just before the break.
Houssine Kharja hit back with a penalty for the visitors but
Kenya midfielder McDonald Mariga settled the tie before Giuseppe
Sculli's late headed consolation.
New Inter boss Leonardo, who won his first two league games
in charge, handed a home debut to new defender Andrea Ranocchia
against his former club.
Earlier, a Fabrizio Miccoli penalty 10 minutes from time
gave Palermo a 1-0 win at home to Chievo and set up a
quarter-final meeting with Parma who defeated Fiorentina 2-1
last month to progress.
Juventus host Catania on Thursday when Gianluigi Buffon is
expected to make his long-awaited return from injury with the
remaining last 16 fixtures, including AS Roma v Lazio and AC
Milan v Bari, taking place next week.
