Juventus won the Italian Cup after defeating Atalanta this Wednesday, 1-0. Vlahovic scored the only goal of the game played at the Olympic Stadium and secured the trophy for the Turin team.
Juventus, with their 15th Italian Cup title, increases their advantage as record holders, as they have six more than Roma and Inter Milan. Atalanta, in turn, loses the chance to win the tournament again for first time since 1963, but is still competing in the Europa League final on the 22nd, against Bayer Leverkusen.
Juventus returns to the field this Monday, at 3:45 pm (Brasília time), when they visit Bologna. Atalanta will face Lecce, away from home, on Saturday, at 1 pm. The two clashes are valid for the 37th round of the Italian Championship.

The title goal was scored right at the beginning of the game. Cambiasso made a pass to Vlahovic, who protected it from the defenders, came out in front of the goal and hit the corner, in the 3rd minute, to put Juventus in front.
In the second half, Vlahovic even found the net again, but the goal was disallowed due to the Serbian striker being offside. Atalanta still tried to press in the final minutes, without success.
In stoppage time, Massimiliano Allegri, Juventus coach, was sent off for complaining.
