Summary Lazio beat Napoli 1-0 on Wednesday to meet Juventus in the Italian Cup final.
PARIS (AFP) - Lazio will be given the chance to land their first trophy since 2013 as they head to the Italian Cup final against Juventus after overcoming Napoli 1-0 in the semi-final second leg on Wednesday.
With the first leg ending 1-1, visitors Lazio had their work cut out for them at the Stadio San Paolo against a team they had not beaten in seven straight head-to-head matches.
But a single goal by Senad Lulic, coming at the end of a low Anderson cross on 79 minutes, was all that was needed for the Rome outfit to stun the home side.
Rafa Benitez s men had chances but Manolo Gabbiadini hit the post on the half-hour mark while Marek Hamsik sent a long-distance volley just inches wide a minute before Lulic s opener.
The Bosnia midfielder was definitely the man of the match minutes later with a sliding tackle to save his team following a blistering run down the left by Lorenzo Insigne who had beaten keeper Etrit Berisha.
With this gutsy away performance, Lazio proved they were the most in-form team in Italy right now, apart from Juve, having reeled off four straight wins to creep within a point of second-placed Roma in the Serie A.
The six-time winners will face Juventus in the Italian Cup final, set for June 7, after the Turin side thrashed Fiorentina 3-0 on Tuesday to overturn a 2-1 deficit.
