Arkadiusz Milik came to the aid of Juventus and, scoring a goal five minutes before the end of the match, when everything pointed to extra time after a brace from “Tati” Castellanos, scores against Juventus despite losing (2-1) in the Coppa Italia final two years later. After winning 2-0 in Turin a week ago Allegri’s side put their place in the final and their entire season in jeopardy after conceding two goals to Lazio early in each half. However, Milik proved to be the surprise hero, scoring just after the siren to eventually give Allegri’s team the pass. Their opponent will be eliminated from tomorrow’s semi-final between Fiorentina and Atalanta.
Lazio, aware of the importance of an early goal to take a draw after losing 2-0 in Turin, were keen to seize the initiative from the start. minute of meeting. A scenario that was far from rejected by Juventus, who feel much more comfortable retreating close to their own goal to try to quickly launch into a counter-attack with Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic acting as the spearhead.
Tudor’s men gained possession without much resistance but found it difficult to break through Allegri’s rocky defensive structure. In fact, the first chance of the match fell to the Bianconeri after a cross from Cambiaso, followed by Christos Mandas, who took charge after Provedel’s injury. However, Lazio scored in the 10th minute of the match kit. Luis Alberto sent the corner straight to the head of “Tati” Castellanos, who, with the help of a very passive Alex Sandro, converted the score to 1:0. header to the far post.
Lazio goal made Juventus ears stand out and he began to look much more at the opponent’s goal. In the 20th minute, after a superb combination with the first touch on the left flank, Vlahović almost made it 1-1 with a “bitten” shot into a small area that Mandas managed to clear with his foot. A few minutes later, Bremer also had a great chance to cross Kostic from a corner. Lazio, for their part, had difficulty creating a threat to Perin’s goal. However, “Tati” Castellanos scored the tying goal with his boots on before the break. after a filtered pass from Luis Alberto left him completely alone in front of the Italian goalkeeper.
Arkadiusz Milik, the unexpected hero of the night
Lazio had the opportunity to equalize in the first half. But After the break they returned with a clear mind and, before reaching the 50th minute, “Tati” Castellanos was not forgiven. Once again, after a pass from Luis Alberto and a very good attack from Bremer, the Argentine found himself in front of Perin and this time managed to find an angle to equalize. As it happened in the first act, Lazio’s goal revived the Juventus team, which was able to take the score home with two chances that Vlahovic missed.…and was close to paying dearly for it minutes later. And, for the umpteenth time during our meeting, The Tats were again left alone against Perin. He sought fame with Vaseline, but the Italian read him well.
The match, completely crazy at the beginning of the second half, turned into a deadlock. a “valley moment” that neither team wanted to unravel I was too aware that any mistake could be decisive at this stage. Lazio and Juventus waved the white flag, putting everything into extra time and, apart from Luis Alberto’s long-range strike, there were almost no dangerous moments.
However, In a completely isolated play, Arkadiusz Milik became the unexpected hero of the evening. And after the poisoned center in Vea, The Pole toasted Laziale’s entire defense to take Juventus to the Italian Cup final, which could salvage a season that has clearly gone from best to worst.
