Roma booked an Italian Cup semi-final against Inter last night after a 2-0 win at Juventus achieved with second-half goals from Montenegrin Mirko Vucinic and Rodrigo Taddei.

Vucinic bagged the opener after 65 minutes after taking a pass from Daniele De Rossi in his stride and Taddei then produced an acrobatic finish for the clincher in time added on.

Palermo will face Milan in the other semi-final over two legs on April 20 and May 11 after bad boy Antonio Cassano celebrated his return to his former club Sampdoria on Wednesday to help Milan run out 2-1 winners.

Brazilian striker Pato struck twice – Sampdoria’s Antonio Guberti getting the hosts’ goal – to give Cassano some revenge against the club, who effectively sacked him earlier this season for disparaging remarks made about their president.

Holders Inter prevailed 5-4 on penalties away at Napoli after the match had finished 0-0, Palermo having Tuesday become the first side to reach the last four when they edged Parma, also 5-4 on penalties.
