Serge I always cover it ;)

Fab all players always want to play the full games, even if it's just a friendly. I think Lippi took him out so early cos he'll probably play from the start against Lecce.

Coppa Italia Report: A Del Piero Inspired Juventus Qualify To The Quarter Finals

An excellent performance by Alessandro Del Piero sees Juventus past a solid Siena side thanks to a 2-1 home victory for an aggregate result of 4-2.

At the Delle Alpi, Juve’s ‘second string’ players won a quiet game in which Lippi’s team never really risked much. The first half was a dire one and both teams seemed to lack spark up front when it came to creating goal scoring opportunities.

Del Piero, trying to win back a first team regular in the matches that count, proved very active and was the most dangerous forward from both Juve and Siena players. In fact the first shot on goal came when the Juventus captain hit the post after freeing himself inside the penalty area.

Later on Conte nearly scored an acrobatic goal when from a Del Piero cross, he hit the ball with a flying back heel which went just high. Siena were not able to create much and the first shot on goal came only in the 40th minute when a long shot by Guigou was easily saved by Chimenti.

Just before half time Del Piero scored when Appiah sent the forward, in a dubious on side position, one on one with the opposing keeper and calmly slotted the ball in the net. Siena replied immediately with Rubinho, who’s header from a good position was well saved by Chimenti.

The second half proved more interesting as Siena pressed hard to find the draw, however it was Juve who scored again in the 51st minute through Camoranesi from a good assist by Zalayeta.

Siena came back into the game immediately when they were awarded a penalty following a handsball by Igor Tudor. Ventola scored the resulting penalty with more than 35 minutes to go.

Both teams tried to score but good saves by both keepers and bad finishing by the strikers kept result locked on 2-1 which sees Juventus facing Perugia in the next round, quarter final, of the Coppa Italia Tim Cup 2003/04.
