TURIN:
An Arkadiusz Milik hattrick helped Juventus earn a 4-0 win over promoted Serie A side Frosinone in Coppa Italia on Thursday to seal a spot in the semifinals.

Milik opened the scoring from the spot in the 11th minute, sending Frosinone keeper Michele Cerofolini the wrong way after a penalty was awarded for a foul on midfielder Fabio Miretti.

The Poland striker doubled the lead from close range in the 38th before adding a third after Manuel Locatelli profited on Frosinone’s defence error to set the Pole up following halftime, and Kenan Yildiz made it 4-0 after the hour mark.

Juventus will next face Lazio in a two-legged semifinal in April, after Maurizio Sarri’s side advanced following an ill-tempered 1-0 victory over AS Roma on Wednesday.
