On his jubilee 400th match on the Bianconeri bench, Massimiliano Allegri’s team convincingly defeated Frosinone and set a semi-final against Rome’s Lazio.
JUVENTUS – FROZINONE 4:0 (2:0)
The most deserving of a safe placement among the top four teams of the most massive competition in Italy was the experienced Pole Arkadius Milik, who scored three goals.
First, in the 11th minute, he gave Juve the lead from the penalty spot, then in the 38th minute, assisted by Weston McKenney, he again hit Mikel Ćerofolini’s net, and at the beginning of the second half, he completed the hat trick with a pass from Manuel Locatelli.

With that, he definitely broke the game and scheduled a semi-final with Lazio, while in the second semi-final, Atalanta and Fiorentina will compete.
The Polish striker hit the opponent’s net for the fourth time in the 58th minute after a shot by Serbian representative Filip Kostić, however, the goal was justifiably canceled after intervention from the VAR room due to offside.
However, there was no dilemma a few minutes later when Kenan Yildiz perfectly finished the action of McCain for “poker” goals in the net of Frosinone – 4:0.
Milik then left the field to the cheers of the Turin audience, and the striker of the Serbian national team, Dušan Vlahović, entered.
Interestingly, before Milik’s first hat-trick for Juve, the last time a hat-trick in the Coppa Italia was recorded by Alessandro del Piero in 2006 against Fiorentina.
