In Italy, Juventus reached the Coppa Italia semi-finals on Wednesday with a 2-0 win over neighbors Torino, who had their coach Sinisa Mihajlovic sent off for his angry protest over a decision from the video replay system that confirmed the second goal.

Juventus, who rest forward Gonzalo Higuain and fielded Mario Mandzukic as a lone striker, take the lead after 15 minutes when Douglas Costa volleys home.

Torino have their best chance of the match shortly afterwards when a long clearance by Vanja Milinkovic-Savic finds M'Baye Niang. The former AC Milan and Watford forward blasts his shot against the post.

Mandzukic beats the offside trap to lob over Milinkovic-Savic in the 67th minute to make it 2-0 for Juve. Torino claim that Juventus midfielder Sami Khedira fouled Afriyie Acquah during the move for the goal. Referee Daniele Doveri studies the replay on a pitchside monitor but still refuses to change his mind. Mihajlovic is then sent off after remonstrating furiously, and refuses to speak to the media after the game. Juventus will meet Atalanta in their two-leg semi-final while AC Milan meet Lazio in the other tie.
