🧨 Dia scores, HUGE ERROR by Pasalic. Musah equalizes

Just like with the first goal, this lead also lasted very little! Atalanta equalized just two minutes later: Sulemana broke away on the left and served Musah, who finished with his right foot. Back-and-forth, once again. 

In the 86th minute, Lazio took the lead with the least expected man: Boulaye Dia. A cross from the left, a huge mistake by Pasalic who stopped the ball in the box but in fact served the former Villarreal player, who alone in front of Carnesecchi slotted it home with his right foot. 

🚑 Scalvini goes KO: knee problem

Scalvini goes KO: after a clash with Nuno Tavares, the Atalanta defender suffered a problem with his left knee. The 2003-born player tried to continue but was eventually forced to be substituted. The situation will need to be monitored.

💥Dele-Bashiru breaks the deadlock, what an assist by Maldini. Then Pasalic

No sooner had they taken the lead than the Goddess (Atalanta) leveled things up: Samardzic shot from outside, finding an imperfect Provedel who parried the ball into the path of Pasalic, who scored on the rebound. 

At the start of the second half, Lazio took the lead! A majestic ball from Maldini for Dele-Bashiru’s run, who, ice-cold in front of Carnesecchi, chipped it in to put Lazio ahead.

🧨 Zappacosta hits the crossbar

The best chances belonged to Atalanta, who in the 41st minute, from a Bernasconi cross, hit the crossbar with Zappacosta, who was causing problems for Nuno Tavares.

❌ Zappacosta to Krstovic: Dea takes the lead but it's disallowed

Like lightning, Atalanta took the lead in the 8th minute: Zappacosta broke away and Krstovic soared with a header to put the Goddess ahead. However, it was all for nothing: Zappacosta had started in an offside position. 

🗣️The words of Percassi and Fabiani

Luca Percassi, CEO of Atalanta, spoke to Mediaset before the match against Lazio.

"After an almost decade-long change, it was normal to have some difficulties. I can only thank Juric, he also had problems related to injuries to important players. There are times when you have to make decisions you never want to make, Palladino has brought enthusiasm and being here makes us proud. We know we haven't reached our goal yet and that the team still has a long way to go."

Angelo Fabiani, sporting director of Lazio, spoke before the match against Atalanta.

"I won't comment on the wiretaps, those are more serious matters than this. We have to honor the league until the end, we are disappointed and we would have liked to have a full stadium tonight. Nothing new, we have to go out on the pitch and the boys know this is an important match for everyone. Reaching the semi-final is no small feat, the boys eliminated last year's finalists.

I don't want to get into the issue, I respect everyone. I think common sense is needed and that's what I wish for everyone. A semi-final is still a good result and it's not a trivial thing."

😡 Lazio protests: Curva Nord at Ponte Milvio

Curva Nord's march started from Ponte Milvio and will reach the stadium, then waiting outside. An open and announced protest against Claudio Lotito, even in the semi-final.
