For Allegri the fifth cup with Juventus
This success marks the fifth Coppa Italia won under the guidance of Max Allegri, who may have ended his second cycle at Juventus with a triumph. The match began at a frenetic pace, with Juventus taking the lead in the opening minutes thanks to Cambiaso’s assist for Vlahović.
Allegri’s team maintained the lead throughout the first half, repelling Atalanta’s attacks. In the second half, Atalanta tried to increase the pressure, but Juventus continued to defend tenaciously. A controversial moment occurred in the 54th minute, when a contact in the area on Vlahović was not sanctioned by referee Maresca.
Atalanta tried to salvage the goal
Atalanta had several opportunities to equalise, but inaccurate shooting and decisive saves from Perin maintained Juventus’ lead. Var played a crucial role, cancelling out a goal for offside by Vlahović that could have sealed the match. Atalanta continued to press, hitting a post and a crossbar, but failed to find the equalising goal.
For Atalanta, who lost their third final, there remains the consolation of being able to compete for the Europa League the following week, while for Allegri, should this be the farewell, it will be a positive end to the season with the goals achieved.
