Such an approach proved it was more than justified around the 30-minute mark. Biraghi’s clearance was woeful, as his custodian found himself on a no-man’s-land, and Bernardeschi had no problem with accepting Fiorentina’s gifts to give Juve a 1-0 lead.
Despite being one goal down, and two on aggregate, the visitors were struggling to fight back in the second half. The ball circulated on Juve’s half the most of the time, but without any significant goal-scoring opportunities.On the other hand, the home team stroke again through Rabiot, but his goal with 20 minutes left on the clock was disallowed after a VAR consultancy.Inter defeats Milan in a derby that nobody wantedJuve will face Inter in the showdown, which will be Bianconeri’s 23rd Coppa Italia finals’ appearance.COPPA ITALIA – SEMIFINALSTuesdayInter – AC Milan 3-0 (2-0) /3-0 on agg//Lautaro 4,40, Gosens 82/WednesdayJuventus – Fiorentina 1-0 (1-0) /2-0 on agg/ /Bernardeschi 32/
