The hosts worked a chance of their own soon after, but Raffaele Palladino could only fire his strike over the bar.

Antonio Nocerino came close again for Parma just moments before the break, but his volley at the back post was blocked as the teams went into the break all square.

At the start of the second half, Chiellini had another chance for the visitors, with a header that went just over the bar.

Juventus were largely in control and they threatened again when Kingsley Coman drilled a strike into the side-netting.

The visitors continued to dominate and they finally made the breakthrough with a minute left to play, as substitute Alvaro Morata broke through on goal before slotting a low effort past the keeper to send his team through to the last four.
