There Juventus he secured the pass for the Italian Cup final. Despite the defeat, despite a match dominated by Lazio, Massimiliano Allegri’s team went through thanks to the 2-0 win in Turin in the first leg match. Tonight it ended 2-1, with Tudor’s boys having already rebalanced the qualification situation at the start of the second half – thanks to a brace from Taty Castellanos. The two least expected protagonists made the difference in the 180 minutes: only appearing in the second half, Weah and Milik collected the goal in the 85th minute which set the score at 2-1. And they allowed Juventus to reach the final.
At 12′ Castellanos he lit the flame of hope by scoring the 1-0 goal with a header, the one that called everything into question. Immediately at the disadvantage, Juventus felt the blow and retreated from their range of action: they relied on counterattacks and clashed with Dusan Vlahovic’s inaccuracy. On the other hand, Castellanos had the best evening of the last nine months, the best night since he wore the Biancoceleste shirt: at the end of the first half he ate the 2-0 goal, at the beginning of the second half he scored the goal that rebalanced the qualification speech.
Juventus only showed real signs of reaction after the 2-0 goal, but until the 80th minute it was Lazio who was in control of the match. What changed everything were Allegri’s substitutions, Weah’s entry and then Milik’s: in the 85th minute the American served the Pole a ball that just had to be pushed into the net. Milik did it and Juventus is in the final. Tomorrow at the end of Atalanta-Fiorentina the Juventus team will meet their opponent: appointment on 15 May, again at the Olimpico in Rome.
