The Turin team won comfortably 4-0 against Frosinone
Twenty days ago, it was tense, uncertain, but Juventus beat Frosinone in Serie A with 2:1 as a guest. Tonight, a completely different picture, an easy and convincing celebration of the giants from Turin with 4:0. Frosinone didn't even manage to make the Old Lady work hard for their victory in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia. Arkadiusz Milik excelled, with a hat-trick leading the black and whites to the semi-finals, where they will face Lazio, who defeated arch rivals Roma yesterday 1-0.

Potential Arsenal transfer target Dušan Vlahović started the match on the bench, but entered the game in the 62nd minute. However, the goals of the Serbian striker, who scored the winner against Frosinone in that Serie A match, were not needed tonight, as the Pole finished the job with three straight goals in the space of 48 minutes.

Everything was decided by halftime, as the black and whites had a two-goal lead. Milik was first safe from the penalty spot in the 11th minute, then he doubled the lead in the 38th minute with a pass from McKennie. The Juventus striker continued in the same rhythm in the second half, but as soon as the ball started from the centre, he once again shook the net of his modest rival. The final 4:0, to seal the ticket to the semi-finals, was set by Yildiz in the 61st minute. Interestingly, the talented Turkish player also scored against the same opponent in that 2-1 win in Serie A. The Coppa Italia trophy has been waiting for Juventus since 2021, and it is also the last piece of silverware that the famous club recently won.
