With a late own goal, Juventus beats Fiorentina and takes the lead in the semifinals of the Coppa Italia

It was difficult, but Juventus managed to open the gap in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia. On Wednesday afternoon, the Old Lady traveled to Florence to face Fiorentina. In a match without great chances, the winning goal came at the end of the lights. 1 to 0 for the Turin team was the score.

Overall, the match was balanced between the teams. As much as there weren’t many, both teams had their opportunities to open the scoring, but the ball took a long time to enter.

The net only swung in the 46th minute of the second half. Cuadrado advanced through the right wing and crossed into the penalty area. The goalkeeper managed to deflect, but the ball hit defender Lorenzo Venuti, who made it against.

With a slight advantage for Juventus, now the spot in the final of the Coppa Italia will only be defined on April 21, this time in Turin.

Before that, the teams will have clashes for other competitions. The next match of Velha Senhora will be against Spezia, at home, at 14:00 (Brasília time) this Sunday, for the Italian Championship. Also for Calcio, Fiorentina will face Verona, in Florence, once again on Sunday, but at 11 am.
