Milan into Cup quarters

Milan, who came back from two goals down to win the first leg 4-2, took the lead in the 15th minute when Brazilian striker Ricardo Oliveira headed in a corner from French midfielder Yoann Gourcuff.

Five minutes later, the tie was virtually over when Brescia defender Davide Zoboli put a Gourcuff cross into his own goal.

Zoboli protested that he had been pushed by Milan forward Marco Borriello as he moved to clear the cross.

Brescia pulled a goal back two minutes before the interval with Slovak forward Marek Hamsik producing a composed finish from the edge of the area.

After the break Milan, who rested several first-team regulars, risked conceding an equaliser with Zoboli going close with a bicycle kick that struck the bar.

"These are games you have to play and it was a balanced, even game that we did well to win," Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti told RAI television.

On Wednesday, Cup holders Internazionale host Messina at Giuseppe Meazza with Roberto Mancini's side expecting to build on a 1-0 lead from the first leg.

Roma are at home to Serie B club Triestina, who they beat 2-1 in the first game.
