In Rome, at the "Stadio Olimpico", a match for the Italian Cup took place. Turin's "Juventus" and the home team "Lazio" were aiming to take the final step here.
The "Bianconeri" had triumphed in this tournament twice in a row, but recent results in the local league gave hope to their opponents.
The beginning of the match was actually positive for the "Lazio" team, as Balde Keita scored in the seventh minute. However, a few moments later, Gonzalo Higuain also had a great opportunity to score.
After a few more minutes, Dani Alves put "Juve" ahead, and shortly after, Higuain and Paulo Dybala had good chances as well.
Furthermore, due to injury, "Lazio" defender Marco Parolo had to leave the field, and "bianconeri" doubled their lead through a corner kick converted by Leonardo Bonucci.
The first half ended with the favorites leading 2-0, and after the break, they completed their job.
The best opportunities for "Lazio" came through Ciro Immobile, whose shot was saved by Juventus' substitute goalkeeper Neto, and through a missed shot by Keita.
Despite all these attempts, the "bianconeri" held on and eventually won another "Coppa Italia" in front of 70,000 spectators.
Result:
"Juventus" 2 - 0 "Lazio"
[1-0] 12' Dani Alves
[2-0] 25' Leonardo Bonucci
