Mourinho's men triumph against Fiorentina
Inter Milan booked their place in the Coppa Italia final with a 2-0 aggregate success over Fiorentina courtesy of Samuel Eto'o's second-half strike.
Jose Mourinho's side arrived at the Artemio Franchi stadium with a 1-0 cushion from the first leg and sealed their progress courtesy of the Cameroon forward's 57th-minute effort.
The home side were left to rue several missed opportunities but it is the Nerazzurri who will now meet either Roma or Udinese in the final.
The result means Inter remain alive in all competitions, as they are in the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League and still in the hunt for the Serie A title.
Fiorentina went into the game on the back of a 2-2 draw with Inter on Saturday, a result which saw the Nerazzurri drop to second in Serie A behind Roma.
Inter had the first chance early on but Mario Balotelli's curled free-kick went wide.
The visitors then should have gone in front in the 12th minute as Eto'o got past two Fiorentina defenders before surging inside the area only to fire wide of the far post.
Midway through the first half, Balotelli stole the ball from Lorenzo De Silvestri and entered the area before firing wide.
Poised
At the other end, Fiorentina were unlucky not to take the lead as Lucio made a goal-line clearance after Alberto Gilardino's volley from the edge of the area went through the legs of Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar.
On the half-hour mark, Christian Chivu made a great tackle with Gilardino poised to shoot from outside the six-yard box and in the 36th minute, Riccardo Montolivo warmed the hands of Cesar with a stinging drive from 35 yards.
Before the break, Stevan Jovetic got closer with his right-footed strike from distance going inches wide of the near post.
Inter showed more determination after the restart and almost went ahead soon after as Balotelli's powerful strike from distance forced Fiorentina goalkeeper Sebastien Frey to fully stretch to clear.
Inter then went in front as Thiago Motta released Eto'o and he beat the offside trap before hitting a left-footed strike past Frey.
The goal was a hammer blow for the hosts, who needed three goals to progress to the next round.
Inter defended deeply in the last 15 minutes of the game and Fiorentina were forced to try their luck with long-range strikes. Montolivo drove the ball wide from 30 yards.
Gilardino almost got a consolation goal with one minute remaining after he got behind Cristiano Zanetti's cross but hit the ball wide.
