"Gianluca Scamacca's first-half penalty was followed by goals from second-half substitutes Kamaldeen Sulemana and Mario Pasalic as Atalanta will now face Bologna or Lazio in the final four of the competition. Francisco Conceicao squandered two golden opportunities, first seeing a close-range effort saved by Marco Carnesecchi before hitting the crossbar with a curling strike, and it proved costly when Scamacca scored from the penalty spot soon after in the 27th minute."
"Bremer was penalised for a handball following VAR review, and Scamacca made no mistake from 12 yards out as he sent the goalkeeper the wrong way. Juventus looked to be gaining some momentum after the hour mark when Weston McKennie and Lloyd Kelly both failed to hit the target with good chances, but any hopes of a comeback seemed to disappear when Sulemana finished off a swift counter in the 77th minute."
"And just 83 seconds after coming off the bench, Pasalic wrapped up the victory for Atalanta by finding the bottom-left corner through the legs of Kelly as Luciano Spalletti's side were left to rue their misses."
