The Serbian striker found the net in his first appearance in the competition, putting the Rossoneri ahead on aggregate after the 1-1 draw in the first leg.

As a hard-fought and evenly balanced first half drew to a close, Sergio Conceiçao’s side shifted the ball swiftly from right to left, with Jimenez delivering a pinpoint cross that Jovic headed in for his third goal of the season.

Inter’s treble hopes will be dashed if Milan manage to hold on to their lead.
