FLORENCE, ITALY – Lazio remained on course for its second trophy of the season after beating Fiorentina 1-0 on Tuesday to advance the Roman squad to the Italian Cup semifinals.
Captain Senad Lulic scored early on with an expert cut back and angled shot from inside the area.
In the other quarterfinals next week, Napoli hosts Atalanta and Juventus meets Turin in another derby. In the semifinals, Lazio will face AC Milan, who won vs Inter Milan on Wednesday.

Goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha preserved the advantage by pushing wide a curling shot from Federico Chiesa midway through the second half on Fiorentina’s only significant chance.
