Mario Balotelli scored a minute from time to give Inter a 2-1 win over beleaguered Juventus in their Coppa Italia quarter-final tonight.

Juve coach Ciro Ferrara could now face the sack, according to media reports, after his team's woeful run continued despite taking a 10th-minute lead when Inter reserve goalkeeper Francesco Toldo let a Diego shot through his body.

Hosts Inter deservedly equalised when Lucio prodded in Wesley Sneijder's deflected free kick midway through the second half and Balotelli sealed victory after Gianluigi Buffon could only parry Thiago Motta's shot.

The Italian champions will meet Fiorentina in next month's two-legged semi-finals with AS Roma playing Udinese in the other tie.
