Half-Time Report: Alessandro Matri, Roberto Pereyra strikes edge Juventus ahead

Juventus have hauled themselves in front at the break in their Coppa Italia semi-final clash against Fiorentina thanks to strikes from Alessandro Matri and Roberto Pereyra.

The home side were the first to threaten as Juventus failed to clear a loose ball in their penalty area, which Mohamed Salah latched on to and fired into the bottom corner. However, the goal was disallowed for an apparent push on Stefano Sturaro.

Fiorentina came close again as Marcos Alonso was allowed to raid down the left flank and the full-back opted to power an effort at goal, which forced Marco Storari into action as he palmed the ball past the post.

Juventus took the lead on the night when Matri pounced from close range to fire past Neto after Arturo Vidal's strike was blocked by Jose Maria Basanta and the home side failed to clear the danger.

The Viola had another goal disallowed when Gonzalo Rodriguez had his header from close range chalked off for offside when he nodded home from a free kick, which replays proved was the right decision.

Alvaro Morata came close to firing his side in front when he curled an effort at goal from outside the box, but Neto got his fingertips to the ball to tip his strike past the post.

The visitors doubled their lead to take the advantage in the tie as Morata caused further problems when he turned and fired a low effort at goal. Neto once again denied the forward, but Pereyra was on hand to turn in the rebound.
