The Italian Cup belongs to Juventus: the 15th in its history

Vlahovic knocks out Atalanta, a high-tension game until the final minutes. For Allegri it is a record of victories in the competition

ROMA – Juve wins the Italian Cup. With the signature of Vlahovic. Gasperini’s Atalanta, beautiful at times, was also the protagonist in this great ball at the Olimpico in Rome but in the end had to leave the trophy to the Bianconeri. Juve’s Italian Cup number 15, the fifth for Allegri, the first coach in history to achieve five successes in this competition.

THE MATCH

A 1-0 was achieved after just 4 minutes, when Vlahovic ran away on the edge of offside, put in the physical effort to resist the return of the Nerazzurri defence, and put the ball past Carnesecchi with his right foot. Immediately a flash in a not particularly brilliant first half in which Atalanta tried to recover by scaring Juventus with a ‘blocked’ Pasalic attempt. Too little. Definitely another pace in the second half. A shot from Lookman immediately deflected and ended up just wide, then a suspicious Vlahovic-Hien contact on which the referee and VAR did not intervene and the Juventus striker eventually also received a yellow for protests. High voltage.
