JUVENTUS - LAZIO 2 - 1 after extra-time Stefan Radu (4') Giorgio Chiellini (11') Alessandro Matri (97') Coppa Italia TIM Final Wednesday, May 20th, 2015 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium, Rome Referee: Daniele Orsato Chiellini: Coppa Italia Victory Is A Milestone For Juventus May 20, 2014 Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini hailed his side’s achievement after they won the Coppa Italia final 2-1 against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico. The centre-back scored the equalizer for his side in the 11th minute to cancel out Stefan Radu’s fourth minute header, before substitute Alessandro Matri netted home the winning goal in extra time. “Today we played a great game, and we knew it was going to be hard,” said the 30-year-old to Rai Sport. ” We were always together and we fought together.” Chiellini termed the win as a ‘historic milestone’ as the Old Lady have got their hands on the Coppa Italia trophy after 20 years, having previously emerged winners in the 1994-1995 season. “We have reached a historic milestone,” he continued. “We have missed this cup a lot and now we are going to enjoy [winning] it.” The Italian was also quick to praise his opponents, singling out Antonio Candreva and Felipe Anderson. “Candreva and Felipe were great tonight,” he said. “Berlin? Now we want to enjoy the cup and celebrate with our fans.” With the domestic double now complete, Juventus will be looking to seal a historic treble when they face Barcelona in the final of the Champions League on June 6.

Before their upright we had two or three favourable situations we didn’t make the most of. “They were very aggressive in the first half, while we did better after the break and should’ve been sharper, as two or three times we delayed the pass when attacking the line. “I have to say that it wasn’t easy for the lads to win the Scudetto and Coppa Italia. Now we’ll try to win the third.” Juve go into the Champions League Final against Barcelona on June 6. “It is not easy to play in three tournaments all the way through a season. Now we will try to nourish this dream and turn it into reality.”

The Bianconeri had gone behind to an early Stefan Radu goal, but Chiellini equalised and Alessandro Matri secured the 2-1 victory. “We put in a great performance and knew it would be difficult, as Lazio are in good shape and caused us problems,” the defender told Rai Sport. “We did well to never give in, remain united and fight for every ball, then we have players who can change a game. “Juventus hadn’t won the Coppa Italia for 20 years, we really wanted this trophy and now will enjoy it to the full. “This group motivates itself, we help each other out to be at our best, find new motivation and improve from game to game.” Chiellini was asked whether this had provided good practice for the Champions League Final against Barcelona on June 6. “Lazio trained us well! They made us run hard and played well. Berlin is a way off, now we deserve to enjoy this Coppa Italia with our fans all over the country.” Juve have registered the Double of Scudetto and Coppa Italia, so the Treble is still possible in Berlin.

JUVENTUS - LAZIO 2 - 1 after extra-time Stefan Radu (4') Giorgio Chiellini (11') Alessandro Matri (97') Coppa Italia TIM Final Wednesday, May 20th, 2015 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium, Rome Referee: Daniele Orsato Alessandro Matri strike in extra time wins Coppa Italia for Juventus May 20, 2014 Juventus have defeated Lazio 2-1 after extra time in the Coppa Italia final at the Stadio Olimpico to remain firmly on course to claiming a first ever treble. The Bianconeri, who last lifted this trophy 20 years ago, now head into next month's Champions League final against Barcelona with a domestic league and cup double under their belts. Alessandro Matri's goal in extra time proved to be the difference between the two sides, on the back of a tightly-contested clash in the Italian capital. The much-anticipated contest got off to an explosive start, as Stefan Radu beat his man to guide Danilo Cataldi's free kick beyond Marco Storari inside the opening four minutes. It did not take long for the Old Lady to level things up through a set piece of their own, though, with Giorgio Chiellini turning Andrea Pirlo's perfectly lofted cross into the back of the net, after Patrice Evra headed it into his path just a few yards out. Both sides continued to threaten at both ends without either keeper truly being troubled, until some sloppy play by Paul Pogba shortly after the half-hour mark allowed Marco Parolo a free shot, which flashed wide of the target. Lazio almost saw their good work come unstuck in the latter stages of the opening 45 minutes when Etrit Berisha failed to clear his lines and allowed Carlos Tevez to close him down, but thankfully for the Biancocelesti stopper, the ball rebounded off the striker and to relative safety. The opening stages of the second half saw the contest become a little more stretched, which Pogba almost capitalised on when heading wide a decent back-post chance. Some poor finishing ultimately cost both sides as the hour-mark approached; Parolo dragging a shot wide for the six-time winners soon after that Pogba miss up the other end. Juventus continued to look strong when pushing forward through Tevez and strike partner Fernando Llorente, however, with the latter very nearly working away some space to get in a shot when well placed, only for the Lazio defence to quickly crowd him out. Filip Djordjevic was introduced by Stefano Pioli for the closing stages of normal time and, with the teams apparently deadlocked and unable to find a way through, the substitute had a great chance to add a third goal of the contest, which he struck straight at stand-in stopper Storari. There was more drama to come late on when Matri had his goal ruled out for offside, despite replays seemingly showing that he was in fact stood in a legal position when striking Pirlo's pass. That signalled a further period of 30 minutes extra time, and it was Matri who was in the thick of the action once again, this time slotting home a rebound after Tevez had been denied. Juve's goal came shortly after Lazio had struck the post through Parolo, but the 2013 winners could not muster one final charge to rescue themselves as Juve's treble dream rolled on in Rome.

Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini, acting as captain on the night, cancelled out Lazio skipper Stefan Radu's opener in the 11th minute. Both sides had chances to win the game in normal time but could not find the finishing touch. Matri came to the rescue seven minutes into the first half of extra-time when he struck the ball from 10 yards to beat Lazio goalkeeper Etrit Berisha and hand the Serie A champions their 10th Italian Cup and first in 20 years. Without suspended striker Alvaro Morata, whose goals against Real Madrid lifted Juve into the Champions League final on June 6, coach Massimiliano Allegri fielded Fernando Llorente alongside Serie A's top scorer Carlos Tevez in attack. Lazio got off to a great start and went in front when Radu headed Danilo Cataldi's free-kick past Juventus goalkeeper Marco Storari. Juve pulled level soon after. Andrea Pirlo's free-kick was knocked down by Patrice Evra, leaving Chiellini to smash the ball from six yards and beat Berisha. In the 25th minute, Llorente headed Evra's cross over the bar. Two minutes later and a fast counter-attack by Lazio saw Felipe Anderson sent Cataldi through on goal but his effort lacked pace and did not trouble Storari. Before the interval, Marco Parolo's stinging drive from 25 yards went wide of the far post. One minute after the re-start, Berisha had to come off his line to clear a dangerous ball with Llorente ready to pounce. In the 55th minute, Tevez fed Paul Pogba in the box and the Frenchman's goal-bound attempt was blocked by a defender. Lazio struggled to break Juve's defence and were limited to shooting from outside of the area. Before the hour, Parolo drilled a right-footed strike that went over the bar while, minutes later, Gentiletti's powerful free-kick found the stands. Lazio pushed forward more aggressively and came close to scoring before the end of regulation. In the 84th minute, Lazio substitute Filip Djordjevic had a great opportunity but failed to beat Storari in a one-on-one, with his shot kept out by the keeper. Three minutes later and Matri had a goal disallowed for offside. Lazio could not believe their luck once play resumed when Djordjevic's left-footed strike beat Storari but hit both posts. Juve then found the winner. Matri pounced on a loose ball in Lazio's area and slotted home from 10 yards to beat Berisha. Lazio could not find a way through as Juve held on for victory at the Stadio Olimpico.

Stefan Radu opened the scoring for the Aquile and Giorgio Chiellini equalised for the Bianconeri in the first half while Alessandro Matri scored the winner in extra time. Lazio lead after just four minutes when a free-kick from the right was headed in by Radu. His header looped into the goal and Juve goalkeeper Marco Storari couldn’t keep the ball out despite getting a touch. Juventus equalised seven minutes later when a long Andrea Pirlo free-kick found Chiellini, whose scissor kick beat Etrit Berisha in the Lazio goal. Minutes later, Lazio midfielder Marco Parolo received a yellow card for a foul on Arturo Vidal. Both teams created chances but the goalkeepers weren’t forced into making any demanding saves. Fernando Llorente headed the ball over the bar, Felipe Anderson blasted a shot high, Danilo Cataldi struck the ball straight at Storari and Evra also headed over the bar. Berisha charged out of his box to head the ball away but soon after he kicked the ball into Carlos Tevez, whose touch near diverted the ball into the net. Defences were on top for the first 10 minutes of the second half then the chances slowly came. Paul Pogba headed a Stephan Lichtsteiner cross over the bar and Parolo tried his luck from distance. Leonardo Bonucci received a yellow card for tripping Antonio Candreva minutes after Evra was yellow carded for tripping. Santiago Gentiletti curled a free-kick over the bar and Parolo had another chance that went off target. As the second half progress, Juve became more defensive and Lazio looked more willing to win the game in open play. Candreva and Anderson made some dribbles but they failed to create chances on goal with them. Roberto Pererya came on for Pogba and his cross-shot flashed across goal, and Alessandro Matri, who replaced Llorente, had a goal ruled out for offside. In stoppage time, Tevez’s swerving shot from distance just went over the bar. Filip Djordjevic replaced Klose in the second half and he hit both posts early in extra time with a left-foot strike. Then Matri headed wide after a Pereyra cross. Matri put Juventus ahead seven minutes into extra time. He controlled the ball on the outside of his right boot and side-footed a shot with his right foot. Berisha got a touch but failed to keep the ball out. Candreva was yellow carded early in the second period of extra time for a foul on Vidal off the ball. Pirlo then had a free-kick from a tight angle saved by Berisha. Lazio searched for an equaliser but they failed to put Storari under serious pressure. Tevez could have made it 3-1 but his long-range effort missed the target.

The Turin giants fought back from an early Stefan Radu goal with Giorgio Chiellini to take the 10th edition of the trophy, though Filip Djordjevic hit both posts with one shot. While the Bianconeri were targeting the Treble, having already secured the Scudetto and preparing for the Champions League Final against Barcelona, the Aquile were looking to recapture the trophy they last won in 2013. Juve hadn’t lifted the trophy since 1995 and had Claudio Marchisio and Alvaro Morata suspended. Lucas Biglia was injured for Stefano Pioli’s side at the Stadio Olimpico, but surprisingly both teams used three at the back. It took just four minutes to break the deadlock, as a free kick was whipped in for Stefan Radu’s header at the near top corner. Andrea Pirlo was in front of him, but didn’t jump high enough to cut out the assist. However, the Juventus captain was also on target soon after. Pirlo’s free kick was knocked down by Paul Pogba for an acrobatic Giorgio Chiellini volley from six yards, almost an overhead kick. Fernando Llorente and Felipe Anderson fired over the bar, while Danilo Cataldi didn’t put enough power on to his counter to beat Marco Storari. Pogba almost gifted Lazio a second, as his poor control on the edge of the box allowed Marco Parolo to smash a fierce strike inches past the post. Etrit Berisha also hesitated and Carlos Tevez pounced, but the ricochet rescued the Aquile goalkeeper. After the restart Pogba’s header and a Parolo snapshot sailed over the bar, while Felipe Anderson turned on the turbo to surge past Chiellini and Miroslav Klose’s first touch let him down. Parolo blasted off target and Lazio lost Radu to injury, while Leo Bonucci accepted a booking to terminate Antonio Candreva’s dangerous counter. Felipe Anderson wasted a great opportunity, as he hesitated and allowed Roberto Pereyra to close him down. Filip Djordjevic came off the bench and almost restored Lazio’s lead, running on to a long ball, but Marco Storari was alert to smother at his feet. Alessandro Matri had the ball in the net when running on to a Pirlo pass over the top, but was flagged offside in a tight decision. Deep into stoppages, Tevez aimed a sudden snapshot not far over the bar, but the teams could not be divided in 90 minutes. Lazio swore they had scored in extra time when Djordjevic unleashed a rocket from distance, but it bounced off the inside of the near post and then hit the other upright to go back out. It was an extraordinary strike and so unlucky. Matri nodded a Pereyra pull-back over from six yards, but then the substitute turned the Final around completely. Pouncing on the rebound from a Tevez blocked shot, he hit it too powerfully from 10 yards for Berisha to keep out, the ball bouncing off his wrist and into the roof of the net. It was a splendid Pirlo pass to begin the move, but Matri’s second Coppa Italia goal for Juve after scoring in the semi-final against Fiorentina. Dusan Basta drilled wide from a Lazio corner and Pirlo tried to curl a free kick directly from a tight angle, punched away by Berisha. Keita Balde Diao’s strike was deflected and Tevez fired wide.

JUVENTUS - LAZIO 2 - 1 after extra-time Stefan Radu (4') Giorgio Chiellini (11') Alessandro Matri (97') Coppa Italia TIM Final Wednesday, May 20th, 2015 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium, Rome Referee: Daniele Orsato Juventus 1-1 Lazio (2-1 AET) : Matri fires Bianconeri to Coppa Italia glory The striker scored in extra-time to maintain the club's bid for a famous treble. May 20, 2014 Juventus lifted the Coppa Italia trophy with a 2-1 win over Lazio thanks to Alessandro Matri's injury-time strike on Wednesday. Massimiliano Allegri's men were desperate to end a barren spell in the competition having lost their last three finals and, although they struggled in regulation time, Matri proved decisive in the 97th minute to wrap up a domestic double. Things had started dreadfully for the Champions League finalists, as Lazio captain Stefan Radu gave the Rome club a fourth-minute lead inside their Stadio Olimpico ground. Giorgio Chiellini hit back in spectacular fashion shortly after as Juve eyed a turnaround in search of a record 10th Coppa victory, but Lazio looked the more threatening in attack. Filip Djordjevic was particularly dangerous after his 82nd-minute introduction, testing Marco Storari and striking both posts early on in extra-time. But Juve were absolutely clinical when it mattered, Matri stroking home after seeing a previous strike cruelly disallowed for offside in the 87th minute, leaving Allegri's men with only Barcelona standing in the way of a treble. The Turin giants were slow out of the blocks and Lazio's urgency from the start was rewarded after just four minutes. Danilo Cataldi whipped in a fine free-kick delivery from the right after an Arturo Vidal foul and Radu found the top-right corner with a combination of his head and shoulder. Conceding the opener provided the wake-up call Juve needed, though, and parity was restored just seven minutes later as Chiellini fired into the roof of the net with an unorthodox close-range finish following Patrice Evra's header. Despite surrendering their lead, Lazio continued to look the more fluid of the two teams in attack. Cataldi should have restored the one-goal advantage with 27 minutes on the clock, but he could only hit a feeble 18-yard effort straight at Storari, before Marco Parolo smashed a half-volley agonisingly wide from distance shortly after. Lazio were lucky to escape just before the break, though, as Carlos Tevez sliced over from 12 yards following a cut-back from Evra. The first real chance of the second half did not arrive until the 84th minute and Lazio wasted it, as substitute Djordjevic ran through and hit a tame effort at Storari when one-on-one. A Juve substitute then thought he had stolen a late triumph soon after, but Matri was harshly adjudged to have been offside when finding the net and the contest ultimately went to extra-time. Lazio began the extra 30 minutes with intent, but luck was not on their side, as Djordjevic's 30-yard effort hit both posts early on and Matri capitalised soon after. Tevez's initial effort was blocked well on the edge of the area, but the Italian was on hand to find the bottom-right corner, though goalkeeper Etrit Berisha should have done better. Juve then proceeded to absorb pressure in expert fashion and Lazio's lack of ideas saw Allegri's men see out the encounter, surpassing Roma as the Coppa's most-decorated club.
