A penalty from Andrea Pinamonti coupled with goals from Jens Odgaard and Tommaso Brignoli – all in the first half -- led the Inter Milan Primavera to a 3-0 win over Novara in the TIM Cup Round of 16 Wednesday at the Stadio Breda.

Pinamonti got his shot from the spot in the 15th minute after Matteo Rover was fouled in the area. In the 32nd minute, Brignoli doubled the lead with shot from distance outside the penalty area.

Four minutes later, Odgaard connected on a shot off a pass from Gabriele Zappa.

The Primavera advance to take on either Atalanta or Udinese in the quarterfinals on Dec. 20.
