Juventus won the Coppa Italia for the first time in 20 years thanks to Alessandro Matri's extra-time strike which secured
a 2-1 victory over Lazio, keeping the Turin giants' hopes of an historic treble alive.
Stefan Radu gave Lazio the lead in the fourth minute, but Juventus hit back six minutes later through Giorgio Chiellini’s clever finish from six yards.
Just moments after substitute Filip Djordjevic had hit both posts
for Lazio, Matri saw his shot squirm under Etrit Berisha from 12
yards for the winner in Lazio’s own backyard at the Stadio
Olimpico.
With the Serie A league title secured and a Champions League final date with Barcelona to come in Berlin, Juve went with No 2
goalkeeper Marco Storari instead of Gianluigi Buffon, while Claudio Marchisio and Alvaro Morata were suspended.
Juventus are now on course for a first-ever club treble after
claiming their first Coppa Italia crown in 20 years.
