BERGAMO, Italy (AP) — Atalanta advanced to the Italian Cup final with a 4-1 win over 10-man Fiorentina on Wednesday to set up a meeting with Juventus for the trophy. The decisive goal by Ademola Lookman in stoppage time was initially ruled offside. Then the goal was awarded following a VAR review. Teun Koopmeiners, Gianluca Scamacca and Mario Pasalic also scored for Atalanta, while Lucas Martinez Quarta scored for Fiorentina, which had Nikola Milenkovic sent off early in the second half for a foul on Scamacca. Atalanta advanced on 4-2 aggregate after Fiorentina won the opening leg 1-0. Juventus eliminated Lazio on Tuesday. The final is scheduled for the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on May 15. Atalanta also faces Marseille in the Europa League semifinals as coach Gian Piero Gasperini — who was suspended Wednesday — chases the first trophy of his career.
