Fioretina edge out Udinese to reach final

Fiorentina turned around a first-leg deficit to beat Udinese 2-0 in the Coppa Italia semi-final this evening.

Manuel Pasqual scored after 14 minutes before Juan Cuadrado grabbed shortly after the hour mark as Vicenzo Montella's side edged past Zebrette 3-2 on aggregate to reach the final of the competition.

Pasqual gave the home side the lead when he hammered a volley into the roof of the net after a neat knock-down by Joaquin.

Cuadrado then doubled the lead when he beat the offside trap to smash a shot in off the underside of the bar from around 20 yards out.

With the visitors searching for the goal that would take them through, tempers flared and they finished the game with 10 men as Maurizio Domizzi were sent off along with substitute Badu.
