The encounter in Bergamo remained uneventful during the first half, with few clear chances. Atalanta's Ederson had a goal disallowed following a VAR review, adding controversy to the match. Lazio took the lead with Alessio Romagnoli's late goal, only for Atalanta's Mario Pasalic to equalize two minutes later, propelling the game into extra time.
Despite more action in extra time, the match was settled in a penalty shootout where Lazio emerged victorious. They are set to face Inter Milan, who also fought back from a deficit to defeat Como. The eagerly anticipated final is scheduled for May 13.
