Cup sensation: Atalanta shoots Juventus out

The seventh-placed Serie A team took the lead within two minutes with a double strike from Timothy Castagne (37th) and Duvan Zapata (39th). It was also the Colombian Zapata who finally shot Juve out of the cup four minutes before the end after a catastrophic mistake by De Sciglio with a 3-0 win. The dream of the fifth “Coppa Italia” in a row has shattered for the Turin team - even though they competed in Bergamo with numerous stars (only Leonardo Bonucci was missing from the big names).

Allegri sees red Because Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri claimed to have seen a foul on Paulo Dybala before the 0-2 defeat and protested loudly, referee Fabrizio Pasqua sent him to the stands in the first half. To make matters worse, defense chief Giorgio Chiellini had to be substituted after half an hour with a lower leg injury.

The end of the Coppa Italia is all the more surprising as Juventus, as leaders of Serie A, has so far been on a successful course and has not yet suffered a single defeat.

Atalanta is now the third team in the semi-finals. Previously, Fiorentina also had a memorable one 7:1 victory via AS Roma and AC Milan ( 2-0 against Napoli ) reached the round of the last four. The quarter-finals conclude on Thursday with Inter's game against Lazio. Cup quarterfinals Atalanta – Juventus 3-0 Atalanta (3-4-1-2): Berisha; Rafael Toloi, Djimsiti, Palomino (from 89.
