(ANSA) - Rome, March 1 - AC Milan beat Lazio 5-4 in a penalty
shootout on Wednesday to set a meeting with holders Juventus in
the Italian Cup final.
The semi-final return in Rome ended goalless, as had the
first leg, and penalties ensued after extra time failed to break
the deadlock.
Defender Alessio Romagnoli - who was a Lazio fan as a boy -
scored the decisive spot kick after Lazio's Luiz Felipe Ramos
blasted his effort over the crossbar.
Midfielders Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Lucas Lieva also
failed to convert for Lazio, as did Milan's Ricardo Rodriguez
and Riccardo Montolivo.
Earlier on Wednesday Juventus, who have won the last three
Cups, beat Atalanta 1-0 to complete a 2-0 aggregate victory.
