Holders Juventus booked their spot in next month's Italian Cup final against Inter Milan with a 2-0 win over Fiorentina in their semi-final, second leg in Turin on Wednesday to advance 3-0 on aggregate.

Juventus lost their Serie A crown last season to Inter Milan and also fell to an Italian Super Cup defeat by their northern rivals in January. Sitting fourth in Serie A, Juventus's hopes of avoiding a season without a trophy for the first time since 2011 will likely be played out at Rome's Stadio Olimpico on May 11.

Juve took control of the semis against their Tuscany rivals after Lorenzo Venuti's late own goal in the first leg. Federico Bernardeschi fired the hosts ahead after half an hour, with Danilo adding a second just before the final whistle.
