Cagliari lasts only one half, then once down they fail to react and exit the Coppa Italia. In the quarterfinals, where they will face Empoli, Juventus advances, winning 4-0 and running riot in the second half.
Thirty-eight seconds and Cagliari could score on the first play: Zortea breaks through on the right (where McKennie is the adapted full-back), low cross and in the center of the area Lapadula turns with Di Gregorio who works a miracle with his foot . The rossoblù try to shoot three times in the same play: the first two, by Deiola and Prati, are blocked by the black and white defense, the last one by Marin is wide.
Juventus makes its presence felt in the 13th minute with an almost casual move, Koopmeiners tries to shoot and a rebound favors Vlahović whose left-footed shot goes wide. Shortly after half-time, Savona and Conceição shoot wide, the latter going just wide to the right of Scuffet's goal. He makes a noteworthy save in the 36th minute, on a shot from the edge of the area again by Conceição that goes out for a corner.
The lead came in the 44th minute: Vlahović received the ball in the box from Yıldız with his back to the goal, turned to Wieteska and crossed with his left foot with a rebound on the post before going into the net . In the second half, in the 53rd minute, the lead was doubled, with a great free kick from Koopmeiners from just over twenty meters that went over the wall and was uncatchable for the returning Scuffet.
There is no reaction from Cagliari, not even with the substitutions (Marin in the 58th minute, Azzi, Pavoletti and Piccoli all together in the 69th minute). Indeed, it is Juventus who almost scores the third with a run by Conceição and a cross-shot on which Vlahović, sliding, fails to find the target. In the 68th minute, Nico González, who had just come on, heads the ball wide from a corner (there is also a deflection, the new corner is not awarded). The 3-0 is almost inevitable and arrives in the 80th minute, with yet another identical play by Conceição who from the right brings the ball to his left and shoots on goal, finding the goal .
A minute and a half before the 90th minute, the poker arrives: Nico González takes the ball before the halfway line, advances without opposition and from about twenty meters he lobs it past Scuffet. In the first of the two minutes of injury time, Prati has the ball for the consolation goal, he kicks it in the center of the area and Di Gregorio blocks it.
