Late Milik goal fires Juventus to Coppa Italia final

ROME, Apr 24 (AP): A late goal that Timothy Weah set up for Arkadiusz Milik earned Juventus a spot in the Italian Cup final on Tuesday - keeping alive the Turin squad's chances of winning its first trophy in three years.
While Lazio won the second leg of their semifinal 2-1, Juventus advanced 3-2 on aggregate.
Weah sent in a cross seven minutes from time that Milik tapped in.
Taty Castellanos scored a goal in each half for Lazio.
Juventus won the first leg 2-0 with goals from Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic.
In the May 15 final back in Rome, Juventus will face either Atalanta or Fiorentina. Fiorentina takes a 1-0 advantage into the second leg of the other semifinal on Wednesday.
Juventus has won the Italian Cup a record 14 times, with its title in 2021 the most recent trophy the Bianconeri have claimed. By reaching the final, Juventus also qualified for next season's four-team Italian Super Cup.
