Serie A Champions Through to the Last Eight






Juventus sealed their place in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia with victory at Bologna.

Federico Bernardeschi broke the deadlock after nine minutes following a mix-up between Bologna goalkeeper Angelo da Costa and Arturo Calabresi.

Eighteen-year-old Moise Kean sealed the win from close range three minutes into the second half.

Italian giants Juventus will face the winners of Monday's fixture between Cagliari and Atalanta in the last eight of the competition.

This was as comfortable as it gets for the defending champions of the tournament, who left Cristiano Ronaldo, Paulo Dybala and Blaise Matuidi on the bench at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara.

Ronaldo came on to replace Kean after 62 minutes, while Dybala replaced impressive Douglas Costa 13 minutes from time.

In the second half, Nicola Sansone sent a header narrowly wide as Filippo Inzaghi's team searched for a route back into the match, but the result was rarely in doubt after Kean doubled the tournament holders' lead shortly after the restart.

Massimiliano Allegri's team are next in action on Wednesday, when they face AC Milan in the Supercoppa Italiana.
