FIORENTINA 0-1 JUVENTUS - COPPA ITALIA SEMI-FINAL FIRST LEG

Saponara picks the ball up around 30-yards from goal and fires a low driven strike on goal, but Perin is able to get his body behind it and clutch to his chest.

Kean, who opening the scoring for Juve against Empoli at the weekend, is tripped up by Bonaventura as Fiorentina aim to press the visitors deep inside their own half. Juventus have been comfortably on top so far in these opening stages.

Rabiot attempts a looping cross into the box but it comes to nothing. Vlahovic has touched the ball only two times so far and the home crowd are booing him as loudly as feasibly possible.

The boos and whistles ring out as Vlahovic gets this semi-final started.

The Coppa Italia anthem has been blasted out in front of a hostile atmosphere in Florence. The referee this evening is Marco Guida.
