European champion AC Milan went out of the Italian Cup on Wednesday after being held 1-1 at Catania, while holder AS Roma crushed Torino 4-0 to reach the quarterfinals.

Peruvian fullback Juan Manuel Vargas drilled home from 30m out to put Catania ahead in the 11th minute.

Teenage striker Alberto Paloschi leveled the score in the 68th for Milan, which rested several regulars.

Roma started to rally from its 3-1 first-leg loss in the 59th minute, when French midfielder Ludovic Giuly sprinted from just beyond the halfway line and served Mancini, who slotted in from a central position.
