Juventus overcame a first-leg deficit to reach the Italian Cup final with a 3-0 win at Fiorentina on Tuesday, advancing on 4-2 aggregate.

The Italian Serie A leaders seek their first Cup trophy in 20 years, keeping alive hope of a treble.

Alessandro Matri, in place of the injured Carlos Tevez, put Juventus ahead from close range midway through the first half and Roberto Pereyra doubled the lead just before halftime by knocking in a rebound.

Leonardo Bonucci capped the victory with a volley inside the near post following a corner in the 59th.
