Mirco Vucinic scored a spectacular goal in extra-time of a thrilling second leg against AC Milan to guide Juventus into the Coppa Italia final on Tuesday.
The hosts, who won the first leg 2-1, extended their lead after 28 minutes through Alessandro Del Piero.
Djamel Mesbah's header reduced the deficit before a superb turn and strike by Maxi Lopez drew Milan level nine minutes from the end to force the tie into extra-time.
However, after 96 minutes Vucinic unleashed a shot into the top left-hand corner as Juve moved into the final.
