Dusan Vlahovic gave Juventus the ideal start in the Coppa Italia Final, taking under four minutes to break the deadlock against Atalanta.
The showdown is at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, a repeat of the 2021 edition that was won 2-1 by the Bianconeri.
Within four minutes, the former Fiorentina striker had sprung the offside trap on an Andrea Cambiaso through ball, kept in play by Berat Djimsiti, to beat the on-rushing Marco Carnesecchi.
The 24-year-old Serbian scored his eighth career Coppa Italia goal in 21 appearances, the second of this season after the 2-0 semi-final win over Lazio on April 2.
