BERGAMO, Italy (AP) — Atalanta advanced to the Italian Cup final with a 4-1 win over 10-man Fiorentina to set up a meeting with Juventus for the trophy.

Atalanta advanced on 4-2 aggregate after Fiorentina won the opening leg 1-0. Juventus eliminated Lazio on Tuesday. The final is scheduled for the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on May 15.
