Victory in the Coppa Italia Primavera quarter-finals and passage to the double semi-final against Juventus for Cagliari Primavera who, in a match that held their breath until the last second, beat Fiorentina 5-6 on penalties.

The Rossoblù started off well in the Viola Park match, trying with Trepy in the 3rd minute, but the 94 didn't hit the target. In the 11th minute Vinciguerra also tried, but he also narrowly missed scoring. Five minutes later Arba tried to worry the Florentine ranks from distance, but the ball went high. In the 19th minute Cagliari took the lead: Balde made a run and found the perfect corridor to serve one of Vinciguerra and Trepy , both inside the home team's area. Trepy got the better of the ball, slotting it past Vannucchi .

The islanders want to win the round at all costs and try to extend the gap with Marcolini from the edge of the area in the 31st minute, just wide. In the 33rd minute Trepy is once again the protagonist who, taking advantage of Vannucchi 's exit from the posts, kicks a first-time lob from long distance, doubling the lead and his personal brace. Three minutes later Iliev is called upon to perform a real miracle on the developments of a corner kick against and in the 39th minute Vinciguerra , after a great personal action, tries to put an end to the match, but the goal is denied. In the 43rd minute Fiorentina reopens the match thanks to the goal by Tarantino served inside the area by Rubino .

In the second half, Galloppa 's boys enter the field with a more aggressive attitude and in the 55th minute, Rubino is near Iliev , who is out. In the 65th minute, Simonetta makes a mistake and gives a bloody ball to Braschi who, without hesitation, shoots and scores the equalizer. In the 80th minute, Rubino crosses into the rossoblù area, but none of his teammates is good at hitting the back of the net. Three minutes later, Rubino shoots again, but Iliev saves and keeps the score level. In the 85th minute, Mazzeo receives the ball at the height of the spot and takes a sort of penalty in motion, but he opens his plate too much and sends it out. Not even the minutes of recovery are enough to decree the winner of the clash. So it goes to penalty kicks.

For Fiorentina, Keita , Romani and Bertolini scored, while a sensational Iliev saved penalties from Braschi and Rubino . For Cagliari , only Grandu made a mistake, shooting high, but Marcolini , Sulev , Liteta and the very young 2008-born Costa took care of giving them the victory and the continuation of the dream called Coppa Italia .
