Soccer-Late Milik Strike Sends Juventus Into Coppa Italia Final – News18

ROME: A late goal by striker Arkadiusz Milik sent Juventus into the final of Coppa Italia with a 3-2 aggregate win over Lazio despite a 2-1 defeat in the second leg of their semi-final on Tuesday.

Forward Valentin Castellanos outjumped the Juve defence to give Lazio the lead on the night with a towering header in the 12th minute, nodding home a Luis Alberto corner.

Castellanos added a second after the break when Alberto teed him up just outside the box to level the tie, but substitute Milik scored from close range seven minutes from time, netting a cross by Timothy Weah.

Atalanta host Fiorentina in the other semi-final on Wednesday after the Viola earned a 1-0 advantage in the first leg.
