Serie A - Coppa Italia - Advantage Juve after win over Milan
Juventus beat Milan 2-1 at the San Siro in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final.
Martin Caceres was the hero for Juve, opening the scoring on 53 minutes, then adding a winning second seven minutes from time after Stephan El Shaarawy had equalised for the hosts.
Juve were good for their victory after Milan, despite seeing a Zlatan Ibrahimovic strike chalked off, were frustrated in front of their home fans.
Caceres opened the scoring in the 53rd minute, tapping in on the rebound after Rossoneri keeper Marco Amelia had done well to save from Marco Borriello.
Alessandro Del Piero nearly made it two soon after but it was Milan who levelled in the 62nd minute.
El Shaarawy headed home from close range after meeting Massimo Ambrosini's header.
Ibrahimovic then had his effort disallowed as Milan looked to claim victory but Uruguayan Caceres dashed any hopes the hosts had of winning the match with a fine right-footed effort from outside the box on 83 minutes.
With the home leg to come, Juventus are in pole position to make the final against either Siena or Napoli, who play their semi-final first leg on Thursday night.

Djavid, Barça and Real are top teams, but with budgets three times that of Juve, there's hardly any reason to be so freaking proud. By the way, the last three times that Juve played Real, Juve won, including 2-0 at the Bernabeu!
