The remaining time of the match was not enough for Lazio to score more goals. The final result, despite losing 1-2 to Lazio, with a 2-0 victory in the semi-final first leg, Juventus entered the Coppa Italia final.
After the match, coach Max Allegri said that it was “not easy” for Juventus to defeat Lazio with a total score of 3-2 to reach the Coppa Italia final. As soon as the final whistle sounded, coach Max Allegri was angry with his players and rushed down the tunnel.
“It was a miserable match, we knew it would happen, especially after conceding a goal in a set-piece situation. Reaching the final has never been easy, in the past 3 years We have played two Coppa Italia Finals. Now we have to focus on Serie A, because Juve has not yet won a place in the Champions League and this weekend will be a match against Milan” – coach Max Allegri shared. Share after the match.
