Official: Lazio the winners of Coppa Italia 2018/19

After beating the likes of AC Milan and Inter in the previous stages, Lazio managed to secure their spot in the final of Coppa Italia to face Atalanta. This evening, the long-awaited match finally took place, and the Biancocelesti performed in front of their home crowd.
 
However, it took some time before it showed on the scoresheet. In fact, we had to wait until the 82nd minute before the first goal was scored, as Lucas Leiva managed to find Milinkovic-Savic in the box with a great ball. The Serbian made no mistakes with the header to put his side in front.
 
Subsequently, Atalanta were forced to push forward to find an equaliser, which left Lazio with some space to work on the counter attacks. Correa made one of them count, taking on the opponents with a brilliant solo run before sealing the deal in the 90th minute.
 
Atalanta couldn't find a way back, and Lazio were crowned champions of the 2018/19 edition of Coppa Italia.
