Coppa Italia 

Result: Atlanta 3-0  Juventus

Date: 30 January 2019

Venue: Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia

Serie A giants Juventus were dumped out of the Coppa Italia following a shock 3-0 defeat to Atalanta on Wednesday evening.

Ronaldo, who netted the winner over the weekend, kept his place in the side after he started the round of 16 encounter on the bench.

Just like they did against Lazio, Juve got off to a slow start and allowed Atalanta to have a go at their defence although the hosts were unable to carve out an opening.

The Old Lady were then dealt a blow on 29 minutes when Giorgio Chiellini was unable to carry on after picking up a knock earlier in the game.

It was the home side who broke the deadlock on 37 minutes as Joao Cancelo, who replaced Chiellini, lost possession to Timothy Castagne, who calmly slotted into the bottom corner.

Atalanta managed to bag a second goal three minutes later as a goal-mouth scramble in the Juve box ended with Duvan Zapata smashing the ball beyond Wojciech Szczesny.

With Juve struggling to carve out chances in the second half, Brazil international Douglas Costa was introduced in place of Paulo Dybala after the hour.

The visitors went close to pulling level with 20 minutes remaining, but Besart Berisha produced a stunning save to keep out Sami Khedria's powerful volley.

However, Atalanta put the result beyond Juve in the 86th minute as Zapata completed his brace with a cool finish after latching onto a poor backpass from Mattia De Sciglio.
