PALERMO advanced to the final of the Italian Cup to end AC Milan's hopes of completing the double after winning 2-1 at home on Tuesday. The Sicilians went through to its first final since 1979 by winning 4-3 on aggregate after both teams finished with 10 men.
Palermo will face either defending champion Inter Milan or Roma in the final on May 29. Inter leads 1-0 after the first leg. Giulio Migliaccio opened the scoring for Palermo midway through the second half. Milan midfielder Mark Van Bommel was sent off for fouling striker Josip Ilicic.
Palermo's Cesare Bovo doubled the lead with a penalty but he received a red card for hacking down striker Alexandre Pato. Milan forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored in injury time but the newly crowned Serie A champion couldn't find an equalizer.
"This is a great squad with sound values and now it is an historic squad," Palermo coach Delio Rossi said.
