Great display of character from Lazio who won 2-1 but failed to overturn the heavy deficit from the first leg. Despite everything, Mister Tudor’s men delivered an important performance which bodes well for this intense season finale. Juventus goes to the final and awaits the winner between Atalanta and Fiorentina.
The first half is in white and blue colours, with Castellanos good at taking the time on Alex Sandro and breaking the deadlock. And it is always the Argentine center forward, in the final, who has a great chance one-on-one with Perin who closes the mirror and denies the Argentine striker the joy of scoring. For Juve, a shout from Cambiaso, a good opportunity from Vlahovic and Bremer – from a favorable position – to shoot high with a very imprecise strike.
In the second half the Biancocelesti doubled their lead as usual Castellanos. A high-level plot that demonstrates how Tudor has begun to have a major impact: the Argentine, served by Luis Alberto, leaves no chance for the Juventus goalkeeper in one-on-one situations. So here’s Vlahovic turning up the heat: first miraculously stopped by Marusic, then imprecise with a shot looking for the far post. Allegri, in the throes of hysteria, throws the trident, in fact Milik is the man of providence: Weah’s cross shot from the right, the Polish attacker pounces on the ball, burning the defense and beating Mandas.
