Juventus Thrash Cagliari 4-0 To Advance In Italian Cup

Defending champions Juventus stormed into the Italian Cup quarter-finals with a commanding 4-0 victory over Cagliari in Turin on Tuesday.

Dusan Vlahovic opened the scoring just before half-time, finishing coolly after a deft setup by Kenan Yildiz. The match's standout moment came early in the second half when Teun Koopmeiners delivered a sensational free-kick from 25 metres, doubling Juves lead in style.

Despite Vlahovic having two further goals ruled out for offside, Juventus continued to dominate. Francisco Conceicao added a third with a precise strike in the 80th minute, and Nico Gonzalez capped the night with a delicate chip in the dying moments.

Juventus coach Thiago Motta praised his teams effort, saying, It was a good performance. These lads are going through a tough situation in the right way, giving their all in every training session. Currently sitting sixth in Serie A, Juve have shown resilience despite a turbulent domestic campaign.

The victory sees Juventus join Lazio, Empoli, Bologna, and AC Milan in the quarter-finals. Meanwhile, Serie A leaders Atalanta face Cesena on Wednesday, and Roma will play Sampdoria. Inter Milan, last seasons Scudetto winners, conclude the round of 16 on Thursday against Udinese.
