Ange-Yoan Bonny, Issiaka Kamate and Andy Diouf leave an amazing impression as the Nerazzurri beat Torino (2-1)
What does it take to get into the Coppa Italia semi-finals?
Three African prodigies - at least, if you are Inter Milan.
Christian Chivu's men defeated Torino 2-1 on Wednesday night on the wings of their prodigious African trio, who made the most of their opportunity on the big stage. Although all three were born in France and have represented Les Bleus youth teams internationally, they're actually of Ivorian (Ange-Yoan Bonny and Issiaka Kamate) and Senegalese (Andy Diouf) origins.

Bonny and Diouf found the back of the net, while Kamate made a lovely assist on his Nerazzurri debut for his fellow compatriot Bonny.
Operating as a midfielder - or a right winger, too - Kamate, 21, twisted and turned down the right before feeding unmarked Bonny, 22, with a fine ball to nod it in from six yards, 1-0.
Diouf, also 22 years old, doubled the lead shortly after the half-time break as he headed it home routinely from eight yards, 2-0.
The visitors pegged one back through their forward Kulenovic, but that was all they could do as the Serie A leaders get into the penultimate round of the Italian cup.
Interestingly, Inter faced Torino in Monza, because the mythical San Siro is unavailable due to the Winter Olympics opening ceremony.
