Jose Mourinho's homecoming at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza ended in disappointment for the Portuguese coach, as his Roma side were eliminated from the Coppa Italia at the hands of Inter.
The former captain Edin Dzeko volleyed Inter ahead within two minutes. Ivan Perisic got down the left and delivered a fine ball for the No.9 to exquisitely volley past Rui Patricio.
Inter nearly doubled their advantage with just three minutes on the clock, but Nicolo Barella's long-range drive thumped off the crossbar and away from goal.
But Alexis Sanchez sealed Inter's place in the semi-finals with a stunning strike, picking out Rui Patricio's top corner, having seen the goalkeeper make a number of good saves to keep the deficit at one.
Inter could now face AC Milan in the Derby della Madonnina in the semi-final. The Rossoneri host Lazio on Wednesday.
