Milan reaches Italian Cup last 8

ALEXANDRE Pato scored in extra time to give AC Milan a 2-1 win over Novara and put his team into the Italian Cup quarterfinals on Wednesday but then exited with the latest in a series of muscle injuries.

In the 100th minute at the San Siro, Pato collected a pass from Robinho and smashed the ball into an empty net after beating an offside trap. Robinho then nearly made it 3-1 when he hit the post in the 102nd and Pato then came off in the 116th.

Milan had taken the lead with a long shot from 19-year-old forward Stephen El Shaarawy in the 24th but Serbian midfielder Ivan Radovanovic equalized in the 88th with a low freekick.

In the quarterfinals, Milan will face Lazio, which edged Serie B side Verona 3-2.
