Lazio hit back against Torino to reach semis

Lazio booked their place in the Coppa Italia semi-finals with a come from behind 3-1 victory against Torino at Rome’s Stadio Olimpico on Thursday.

Cesare Natali gave visitors Torino the lead just before the half hour mark after Lazio goalkeeper Nestor Muslera spilled Alessandro Rosina’s cross right onto his foot.

Torino were the better side in the first period but everything changed after the break as Macedonia striker Goran Pandev restored parity four minutes in.

Stefano Mauri then fired home from long range on 55 minutes and Lazio hit the post twice before captain Tommaso Rocchi wrapped things up in injury time.

Lazio will face the winners of the last quarter-final tie between Juventus and Napoli for a place in the final while Inter Milan and Sampdoria, respective winners against AS Roma and Udinese on Wednesday, will contest the other last four match.
