Milan, Oct 28, 2020 (AFP) - Promoted Benevento and Crotone were the only two top flight clubs to crash out of the Italian Cup after third-round matches which concluded on Wednesday.
Filippo Inzaghi's Benevento fell 4-2 to Serie B leaders Empoli, with Crotone losing a penalty shootout against SPAL after the match ended 1-1 after extra time.
The top eight teams in Serie A last season, including champions Juventus and runners-up Inter Milan, will join the competition at the last 16 stage in January.
Ten other top-flight teams are still in the running with the fourth round taking place late Novemeber.
