BERGAMO, Italy (AP) \u2014 Lazio’s 21-year-old goalkeeper Edoardo Motta saved four consecutive spot kicks on Wednesday as the Roma club defeated Atalanta in a penalty shootout to advance to the knockout stages. italian cup<\/span> final.<\/p>\n

After extra time, the score was 1-1. The first leg ended 2-2.<\/p>\n

Motta, who joined Lazio in January, saved shots from Gianluca Scamacca, Davide Zappacosta, Mario Pa\u0161ali\u0107 and Charles de Quetelaere as Lazio won the shootout 2-1 with goals from Gustav Isaksen and Kenneth Taylor.<\/p>\n

Lazio will face Serie A leaders Inter Milan in the final on May 13th.<\/p>\n

After a 0-0 first leg, Inter came back from two goals behind to win 3-2 against Como on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Alessio Romagnoli and Pa\u0161i\u0107 exchanged goals towards the end of regulation. Motta hit the post with Scamacca’s header in stoppage time.<\/p>\n

Giacomo Raspadori thought Atalanta had won in the first period of extra time, but his headed goal was ruled out for offside by VAR.<\/p>\n

Ederson also had Atalanta’s goal ruled out for chalking an hour later after a lengthy VAR check determined he had fouled Lazio’s goalkeeper.<\/p>\n
