Juventus 1 Atalanta 0 (2-0 agg): Pjanic sends Juve into Coppa Italia final

Lazio or AC Milan await in the final after Miralem Pjanic's spot kick saw Juventus see off Atalanta's stubborn Coppa Italia challenge.

Juventus stayed in contention for a fourth consecutive domestic double as Miralem Pjanic's second-half penalty sealed a 1-0 win over Atalanta, closing out a 2-0 aggregate triumph in the Coppa Italia semi-final.

It was far from plain sailing for Massimiliano Allegri's men, with Atalanta the better side early on before Alejandro Gomez struck the post, almost capitalising upon an uncharacteristic lapse from Gianluigi Buffon.

Gomez failed to convert a spot-kick in the initial encounter and saw an impressive display go unrewarded on this occasion.
