There's the final whistle! Juve are into the Coppa Italia final!
90' +4
A corner flicks up off a Juve head and drops for Fernandez inside the box. The Chilean takes it on the volley but sees his effort blocked by Evra! The Viola come again moments later, but Alonso is fail to convert from Savic's header into the six-yard box.
90' +3
FERNANDEZ! The Chilean midfielder forces Storari into his first meaningful save with a low drive from 25 yards. The Juve keeper did well to stay alert and get down to that.
90' +2
A cross from the right goes all the way through to Alonso just outside the box on the left-hand side. He takes a couple of touches before attempting to chip the ball inside the far post, but Storari plucks it down.
90' +1
We are into the first of four additional minutes.
89'
Fernando Llorente enters the game and replaces K. Coman.
Before the resultant free kick can be taken, Allegri hauls of the recently introduced Coman for the additional height of Fernando Llorente. The set-piece is then fired into the box by Diamanti and cleared behind by a Juve head.
88'
Álvaro Morata goes off after a red card!
RED CARD FOR MORATA! The Spaniard is given his marching orders for wiping out Diamanti inside the Bianconeri half! It looks a tad harsh, though the former Real Madrid man was certainly deserving of a yellow for the swipe.
86'
Diamanti takes the free kick himself and bends it over the wall and onto the target. However, it is too close to Storari, who pats it down before holding at the second attempt.
85'
Juve are happy to sit back and allow Fiorentina to take charge of possession for the closing few minutes. They will be confident that they can keep them at bay to ensure their place in the Coppa Italia final. Evra concedes a free kick on the right for hauling down Diamanti.
83'
There are changes from both teams now, with Nenad Tomovic coming on for Rodriguez for the hosts and Angelo Ogbonna replacing Pereyra for the visitors.
Minute
Description
82'
N. Tomović enters the game and replaces G. Rodríguez.
A. Ogbonna enters the game and replaces R. Pereyra.
Savic attempts to get a cross in from the byline on the right but he ends up hooking the ball straight out of play for a goal kick.
80'
OVER THE TOP! Babacar is fed 20 yards from goal and the ball bounces up kindly for him. He smashes a volley towards the target which lacks the requisite dip to force a save from Storari.
79'
Fernandez drives the free kick low towards the near post where Alonso attacks it. The left-back is unable to guid the ball on target, though, and the referee points for a goal kick.
78'
A. Vidal gets yellow.
There's a yellow card for Vidal following a late tackle on Diamanti near the corner flag. The Chilean has put in his fair share of challenges of that type tonight and probably warrants his booking.
77'
Diamanti cleverly twists and turns his way into the box but when he releases his shot it hits the nearest Bianconeri defender! He's been a bright addition for the hosts, he just hasn't seen enough of the ball.
76'
We are into the final quarter of an hour and Fiorentina are yet to build any sort of momentum that looks like enabling them to decrease the deficit. They would need three goals in order to go through now, though.
74'
K. Coman enters the game and replaces A. Matri.
Allegri makes his first change of the night, replacing Matri with Kingsley Coman.
73'
K. Babacar enters the game and replaces M. Gómez.
Gomez, who has had a disappointing night for the Viola, is replaced by Khouma Babacar for the remaining minutes.
71'
M. Fernández gets yellow.
Fernandez is the latest player to be shown a yellow card following a clumsy tackle on Vidal inside the centre circle.
70'
Morata forces yet another save from Neto at his near post! The subsequent corner is met by Vidal, whose header is nodded away by Borja Valero, though the keeper was coming across to claim it. Juve's Spanish striker tries to convert straight from the clearance, but he is always stretching and sends it wide.
69'
This is the third time that Fiorentina and Juve have met in the competition's semi-final stages. On both of the previous occasions, in 1940 and 1961, the Viola progressed and went on to lift the trophy. It is looking increasingly like the Bianconeri who will advance this time around, though.
67'
Diamanti immediately has a galvanising effect on the home side, winning a corner which he then delivers himself. It is cleared as far as Borja Valero, but after the Spaniard offloads the Viola fail to forge an opening from which to test Storari.
66'
A. Diamanti enters the game and replaces Joaquín.
Montella makes his first substitution of the game, replacing Joaquin with Diamanti.
65'
SO CLOSE! Juve fail to deal with a cross into the box and the loose ball loops up to Aquilani 20 yards from goal. The former Liverpool man catches it on the volley with the sweetest of connections but it zips just outside the right-hand upright! Storari was rooted to the spot!
63'
That third goal seems to have knocked the stuffing out of Fiorentina, who concede a free kick wide on the left following Savic's block on Evra. Marchisio flights the set-piece straight into the arms of Neto.
61'
G. Rodríguez gets yellow.
C. Marchisio gets yellow.
Tempers flair on the far side following a coming together between Rodriguez and Morata. All the players rush over but the referee soon gets it under control and books the Argentine as well as Marchisio for his part in the aftermath. That will rule the Juve man out of the final if they do make it through!
59'
L. Bonucci has scored a goal for Juventus! Assist by C. Marchisio.
GOOOOOOAAAL!! BONUCCI MAKES IT THREE! The resultant corner is sent in to the near post by Marchisio, and the Juve centre-back gets clear of Alonso to rifle a volley into the back of the net. It was past Neto before he could even react!
58'
GOOD SAVE FROM NETO! The Viola are caught short at the back, with Matri holding the ball up before laying it into the path of Pereyra to run free inside the box. He smashes a shot towards the near post which the Brazilian keeper parries behind.
57'
Juve are now looking to slow the game down by holding onto possession near the halfway line. The home fans are growing frustrated with the way this game is going!
55'
Almost an own goal from Savic! The Montenegrin did not adjust his feet quickly enough as Pereyra cut the ball back from the byline on the right-hand side of the box. Fortunately for the centre-back, the ricochet off his leg bobbled just outside the upright.
54'
CLOSE FROM SALAH! The Egyptian catches Vidal in possession on the edge of the Juve box and attempts to guide the ball into the top corner from 18 yards out. The idea was right but the execution wasn't, as it arrows high and wide of the goal.
53'
Morata again proves to be the source of danger, dribbling forward on the left before cutting inside of Savic. He looks to lob the ball across goal and into the far corner but it drops narrowly wide!
52'
GOMEZ! The German should have gone with his left foot! Fernandez somehow managed to work his way to the byline and poke a cutback to his team-mate. From the left side of the six-yard box, the former Bayern Munich man fires a right-footed shot into the side netting of the near post. If he'd gone with his left he could have swept his effort across goal!
50'
Matri and Morata track back to help their team defend, with the Spaniard sprinting forward on the left as soon as he receives the ball. He cuts inside and then makes a fool of Borja Valero with a clever touch before clipping a cross to the back post. Vidal is the target, but the delivery is a little too high for him to connect with.
48'
Fiorentina break after clearing a Juve free kick, and when Joquin is fouled near the halfway line they keep play moving by taking the set-piece quickly. It is sent left for Fernandez, who cuts inside before feeding Salah. The on-loan forward's first touch is a bit heavy so he has no option but to shoot from 25 yards before being closed down. His effort is wild and is nowhere near worrying Storari.
46'
We are back underway in Florence!
45'
There is the half-time whistle!
44'
R. Pereyra has scored a goal for Juventus!
GOOOOAAAALL!! JUVE GET THEIR SECOND! The Bianconeri have turned this tie around following a brilliant team move. Matri slides a pass into Morata, who beats Savic and fires a low shot to Neto's left. The keeper gets down and parries it aside but Pereyra is first to the loose ball and sends it home! Basanta fell asleep there.
42'
After a bright start to the game, Fiorentina have taken a back seat in this match. If it stays this way then they will be the team to progress, but that would be a dangerous game to play.
40'
G. Chiellini gets yellow.
SO, SO CLOSE! The ball ricochets kindly for Morata after Matri is tackled at the top of the box, and the Spaniard curls a sublime shot towards the bottom corner. Neto gets down and helps it on its way behind with a slight touch off the tip of his left glove. No corner is given, though, and Chiellini is booked following his protesting of the decision.
39'
Morata tries his luck with an effort from 30 yards out but he miscues and drags the ball far wide of Neto's goal. He holds a hand up in apology to the numerous team-mates he ignored there.
37'
GOOOOOAAAL! No, it's been ruled out again! Fernandez's delivery is superb and Rodriguez gets into space to head it into the back of the net with Storari idle. However, the flag is up for an offside decision against the centre-back!
36'
The hosts are awarded a free kick in a decent area after Vidal bundles Alonso over out on the left. It's too great of a distance to shoot from, but can Fernandez find a team-mate with his set-piece delivery here?
34'
Juve are getting to almost every cross Fiorentina put into the box first. Bonucci and Chiellini are dominating the aerial game inside their penalty area. Savic becomes the latest Viola player to swing the ball in from a wide position, but again it doesn't find a team-mate.
32'
Joaquin goes on a clever run down the right before feeding Gomez with his back to goal. The striker takes a touch but is quickly dispossessed by the recovering Vidal.
30'
S. Sturaro gets yellow.
Sturaro is the first player to go into the book this evening. The 22-year-old was outpaced by Salah and didn't want to let the Egyptian go free, so he stuck out an arm and blocked his path. He can have no complaints about that decision.
28'
Basanta makes an important block to stop Morata's pass into the box from finding Matri. The Bianconeri are looking dangerous every time they come forward now.
26'
The Viola get a couple of crosses in from the left in quick succession, but both deliveries are dealt with capably by Bonucci. Gomez won't be able to cause any problems if the ammuntition from the flanks doesn't beat the first defender!
24'
Fernandez bursts beyond Sturaro and heads for the byline. He has plenty of options in the middle but takes too many touches, enabling the Juve midfielder to recover and force his opponent to overrun the ball. There are groans from the stands at his inabiilty to supply the cross.
23'
Chance for Sturaro! The midfielder is on hand to connect with a cross from the right at the back post, but, stretching to make contact with the ball, he only manages to loop a shot up into the air for Neto to claim.
22'
That goal doesn't change anything yet, though, as Fiorentina currently hold the advantage on away goals despite the 2-2 aggregate score.
21'
A. Matri has scored a goal for Juventus!
GOOOOOAAAL!! MATRI OPENS THE SCORING! The striker repays his manager's faith, slotting beyond Neto after Pereyra's shot was blocked inside the area. The move began with Borja Valero being dispossessed by Marchisio near the halfway line, and the midfielder raced forward to supply the cross which lead to the goal!
20'
Marchisio slides a clever through-ball straight through the heart of the Fiorentina defence for Morata to latch onto. The Spaniard's effort is blocked by Neto, but the flag goes up for an offside decision against the striker. It was a tight one!
19'
Neither of Juve's front two have really got involved in the game as of yet. They've received very little service up to now, and Morata shows his frustation after having a foul given against him for backing into Savic.
17'
Gomez goes down with a scream after having his foot trodden on by the enclosing Bonucci near the halfway line. It didn't look malicious, and shortly after the German returns to his feet the game gets back underway.
15'
STORARI SAVES! Alonso drills the ball in from the left wing, but it quickly turns from a cross to a shot as it swerves towards the target. The Juve keeper keeps his eye on it, though, adjusting well to leap to his left and parry it behind for a corner.
13'
Padoin pushes up on the right and plays a quick give-and-go to get on the ball inside the box. He tries to knock it towards the byline and beat Basanta but he is edged out by the Argentine, who makes a clean challenge to bring the move to a halt.
11'
Juve attempt to keep a hold of possession and pen the Viola back inside their own half, but the spell breaks down as Bonucci's long pass is headed straight to a purple shirt by Morata.
9'
Basanta pushes up on the left and fires a cross into the box which is headed away by Sturaro. He only gets it as far as Alonso, who rifles an effort on goal from 20 yards that arrows narrowly over the top of the net.
8'
Basanta clips a long, diagonal ball up from the back which Salah races onto inside the box. He tries to nod it across goal for the onrushing Gomez, but Storari reads it and comes off his line to claim the ball before the German can pounce.
6'
It has been a lively start to proceedings at the Artemio Franchi. Salah is looking particularly bright and will have gained confidence from his early forays forward.
4'
GOAL! No, it's been ruled out! Salah dances towards the top of the box but eventually runs into a dead end. There is lots of congestion, though, and the Bianconeri defence fail to remove the threat. A ricochet sends the ball free inside the area and the Egyptian stabs it into the back of th net. However, play is pulled back for his push on Sturaro.
3'
It looks like Fiorentina have lined up in a 3-5-2 formation, with Joaquin occupying the right wing-back position. He isn't able to stop Pereyra chipping a cross to the back post from his flank, but Rodriguez beats Vidal to the delivery before the Viola clear.
1'
We are underway!
Good evening and welcome to this LIVE commentary on the Coppa Italia semi-final second leg between Fiorentina and Juventus at the Artemio Franchi. The Viola hold the upper hand going into tonight's match, with a 2-1 victory at the Juventus Stadium in the first fixture meaning the Bianconeri must win if they are to have any chance of reaching the final. My name is Tom Webber, and I will be guiding you through all the action.
Fiorentina secured an impressive win in the first leg in Turin, with a double from Mohamed Salah guiding them to victory despite Fernando Llorente finding the net for the Old Lady. It was a result that inflicted the Bianconeri’s first home defeat in all competitions since April 2013, when they went down to Bayern Munich.
To reach the final, Juve are going to have to do something they've never done before: win a Coppa Italia match in Florence. In this competition, the Bianconeri have suffered four defeats and played out three draws with the Viola at this stadium. Could tonight be the night they end that hoodoo?
FIORENTINA TEAM NEWS: Ciprian Tatarusanu and David Pizarro are both still missing for Vincenzo Montella's men, while Milan Badelj serves a suspension and is replaced by Mati Fernandez. Stefan Savic starts having completed his return from injury, meaning Micah Richards drops to the bench where he is joined by the returning Manuel Pasqual. The only other change from their 2-0 win over Sampdoria sees Joaquin come in for Alessandro Diamanti.
There are a few players walking the disciplinary tight rope tonight. Should Borja Valero, Jasmin Kurtic, Fernandez or Marchisio receive a booking they be suspended for their side's next Coppa outing, which, for the team that progresses, will be the final.
Fiorentina were runners-up in this competition last season after suffering a 3-1 defeat to Napoli in the final at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. We could well get a repeat of that match in this campaign, but the Viola need to get past Juve tonight if they are to avenge last year's defeat.
Juve, meanwhile, are the joint-most successful club in the Coppa Italia, with only Roma matching their nine trophy lifts. However, despite their recent domination of Serie A, Juventus have not gone all the way in this competition since 1995.
The teams are heading out onto the pitch, so kick off will be upon us in just a few moments!
JUVE TEAM NEWS: Carlos Tevez is a late absentee due to a muscular issue that could also keep him out of the weekend’s Serie A match with Parma and, therefore, Alessandro Matri joins Alvaro Morata in attack. Claudio Marchisio is available though, despite fears that his season would be over due to ligament damage sustained on international duty. With Andrea Barzagli rested, Massimiliano Allegri deploys a four-man defence in front of Marco Storari as Giangluigi starts among the substitutes. Stephan Lichtsteiner picked up an injury in the warm-up and has been replaced in the starting line-up by Simone Padoin.
HALF TIME - Fiorentina 0-2 Juve (agg 2-3): Despite a number of key absentees, the Bianconeri have turned the tie on its head with goals from Matri and Pereyra. One goal from the Viola after the interval would take the match to extra time, but from now on any time Juve find the back of the net will have the added weight of an extra away goal! Stay tuned for the second half.
The teams are heading back out onto the pitch, so the second half will begin in just a few moments.
FULL TIME - Fiorentina 0-3 Juve (agg 2-4): The Bianconeri storm into the Coppa Italia final, overturning their first-leg deficit with goals from Matri, Pereyra and Bonucci. A booking for Marchisio will keep him out of the showpiece event, while a harsh late red card for Morata could also mean he misses out too.
The Bianconeri are now just one game away from winning their first Coppa Italia in 20 years. Montella will be disappointed to see his team go out in such a fashion, but they will turn their attentions back to the Europa League after the weekend's Serie A action.
That's all we have time for now. Thanks for joining me, Tom Webber, and have a great night.
