Juventus 1-0 Atalanta (2-0 Agg): Pjanic Penalty Seals Old Lady's Place in Coppa Italia Final

Juventus continued their quest for a fourth consecutive Coppa Italia title as they completed a 2-0 aggregate win over Atalanta in Turin on Wednesday night to secure their place in the final of the competition.

Leading 1-0 from the first leg, Juve withstood long spells of pressure from their visitors, who saw striker Alejandro Gomez rattle the woodwork from 35 yards with Gianluigi Buffon out of his goal, before Miralem Pjanic's penalty 15 minutes from time put the tie to bed.

Although Sunday's league fixture between these two postponed due to heavy snowfall, Juventus manager Max Allegri still rung the changes from the 1-0 over Torino the weekend before last.
