Despite being sent off in a previous league match, Simone Inzaghi escaped punishment in the Coppa Italia. Referee Fabbri and fourth official Ayroldi overlooked the Inter coach`s repeated breaches of sideline conduct.
During the Coppa Italia derby, Inzaghi repeatedly strayed from his technical area, moving along the sideline and encroaching onto the pitch. Mediaset images clearly showed an instance during a Milan attack where Theo Hernandez was compelled to go behind the Inter coach, who was practically standing on the touchline.
