21:59 Match Report

 

21:56 FT: Lazio 2-1 Juventus (2-3 agg)

21:50 Milik goal

 

21:48 Immobile clattered

Immobile down in pain, it’s frankly not clear what happened… There was an off the ball coming together with Danilo, but didn’t seem like much. VAR had a look, said to move on.

21:45 Lazio sub

Pedro replaces Guendouzi.

21:43 Lazio 2-1 Juventus: Arkadiusz Milik!

He literally just came on! Weah gets down the right, rolls across the six-yard box and Milik gets the tap-in by anticipating Romagnoli!

Milik and Yildiz on, Vlahovic and McKennie off

21:41 Lazio subs

21:40 Juve so slow

Juve keeping the ball, but doing nothing with it, largely because they are so slow moving it around.

21:39 Luis Alberto strike

Luis Alberto snapshot from outside the area, but straight at Perin.

21:36 Lazio struggling

Can’t get out of their own half, but at least Guendouzi did nutmeg someone during a clearance.

Crowd getting agitated.

21:30 Juve sub

Weah finally does come on for Cambiaso, who looks irritated.

21:29 Vlahovic header

Vlahovic just grazes a cross with his head, but Romagnoli clears. Cambiaso then penalised for flailing am arm into the face of Castellanos.

21:28 Allegri a bit confused

Yildiz was ready, sent back to the bench. Then Weah was ready, then sent back to the bench. Juve no changes yet. Not sure what’s going on there. And neither is Allegri.

21:26 Bremer towering

Bremer leaps higher than Castellanos to prevent him reaching a dangerous ball.

21:24 Marusic curler

Straight at Perin from outside the area.

21:22 Lazio sub

Vecino on, Felipe Anderson off. A note – Kenan Yildiz was stripped and on the touchline, then Allegri sent him back to warm up and changed his mind.

21:21 For the Americans

 

21:18 Oh Castellanos

Lazio striker is lucky he was offside, because that was a terrible miss when clear on goal, mini-dink into the arms of Perin. Chiesa shot then charged down, it’s frantic here.

21:18 Vlahovic close!

Vlahovic shrugs off Romagnoli, angled drive across the face of goal to SKIM the far post!

21:16 Huge Juventus chance!

Marusic basically cleared that off the line! McKennie rolled it across from the left, Vlahovic about to tap in with Mandas already beaten, but Marusic somehow manages to clear it!

21:15 Castellanos goal

 

21:14 Juve corner cleared

McKennie is hobbling horribly…

21:13 McKennie hurt

Looks like he accidentally got run into by Marusic, they just crossed paths, both were looking at the ball.

21:09 Lazio 2-0 Juventus: Taty Castellanos!

It’s 2-2 on aggregate! That was a great team move all through the middle, Felipe Anderson to Luis Alberto, first time pass keeps it going for Castellanos, who gets there ahead of Bremer and turns him, fires into the far bottom corner from just inside the area!

21:06 2nd half kicks off: Lazio 1-0 Juventus

It’s 1-2 on aggregate. No away goals rule, so if it’s even, it goes to extra time.

21:04 Lazio sub

Mario Gila had been struggling all half with a knock, so he’s replaced by Patric. Despite being screamed at, McKennie is still on for Juve.

20:56 The goal

 

20:48 Half-Time: Lazio 1-0 Juventus (1-2 agg)

Luis Alberto shot charged down just before half-time. McKennie also misplaced a pass, absolutely INFURIATING Allegri.

20:46 Huge save on Castellanos!

What a chance for Lazio to equalise! Luis Alberto through ball for Castellanos seems as if it’ll be intercepted, but it squirms through anyway, Perin rushes out and manages to use his body to parry!

20:44 Juve trying to take sting out

Allegri ordering Juve to play the ball to feet and slow the tempo, hoping to reach half-time only 1-0 down.

20:43 Getting scrappy

Lots of tackles in midfield, nobody able to build up a head of steam.

20:39 Felipe Anderson down

Lazio tried to counter from that corner, Felipe Anderson caught by Alex Sandro in a sliding tackle, ref considers it clean, but it still hurt…

20:38 Juve pushing

Another corner after Casale intercepts the roll across from the left.

20:36 Locatelli booked

Manuel Locatelli into the book for a lunge on Castellanos. He will be suspended if Juve reach the Final.

20:34 Juve over

Juventus corner, Bremer allowed a pretty free header, but goes over the bar!

20:30 Lazio chance

Guendouzi finds Felipe Anderson, whose shot is charged down from the edge of the area.

20:29 Bremer struggling

Bremer seemed to have a big advantage, but Castellanos chased him down at the by-line.

20:25 Mandas save!

Big chance for Juventus! A good team move with Rabiot dinking it over the top for Chiesa to chest and volley across, Vlahovic manages to get a shin to it and Mandas parries with a leg from point-blank range!

20:23 Juve again

Chiesa through ball a little over-hit, McKennie can’t get to it before Mandas.

20:22 Chiesa counter

Chiesa went on the counter-attack, but too isolated and Lazio players got back in numbers to crowd him out.

20:21 Marusic does the splits

Marusic gets down the left, tries to cut inside, his feet do not seem to agree on which direction he’s going in and he falls over doing the splits.

20:20 Castellanos goal

 

20:18 That immediately shook things up

Juve suddenly realise they cannot just defend. Allegri no longer in his happy place.

20:14 Lazio 1-0 Juventus: Taty Castellanos!

Lazio corner whipped in by Luis Alberto and Castellanos out-leaps Alex Sandro, who doesn’t even jump, to nod into the far top corner!

20:10 Juventus chance

20:08 Kostic cross cleared

Promising Kostic cross from the left for Juventus, but cleared.

20:05 Lazio dominating possession so far

Juve have a 2-0 aggregate lead, so are more content than ever to sit back and counter. Basically, this is Allegri’s happy place.
