MILAN (AP) — Defending Serie A champion AC Milan has been eliminated from the Italian Cup after a surprise 1-0 loss at home to 10-man Torino after extra time. Torino will face either Sampdoria or Fiorentina in the quarterfinals. Torino’s chances of getting a result at San Siro appeared to diminish in the 70th minute when defender Koffi Djidji was sent off for a second booking. But it managed to force extra time and Ndary Adopo scored the winner six minutes from the end. Charles De Ketelaere hit the post for Milan in the first half.
