TURIN, Italy (AP) – Cristiano Ronaldo scored again to set Juventus on its way to a 3-1 win over Roma on Wednesday and a place in the Italian Cup semifinals.

Juventus, which has won the competition a record 13 times - including four of the past five editions - will face AC Milan or Torino in the two-legged semifinal.

The Bianconeri took the lead in the 26th minute when Gonzalo Higuain picked out Ronaldo on the left and he raced into the penalty area before placing an angled drive into the far bottom corner.
