CLAUDIO Marchisio scored another decisive goal - this time in extra time - as Serie A leader Juventus edged Bologna 2-1 to reach the Italian Cup quarterfinals on Thursday and remain unbeaten this season.
In the 102nd minute, Marchisio struck an accurate, angled shot just beyond the reach of Bologna goalkeeper Federico Agliardi.
Marchisio also scored a late winner in a 2-0 victory over Cesena on Sunday and he has eight goals in all competitions this season, including one for Italy.
Emanuele Giaccherini put Juventus ahead in the 90th but Andrea Raggi equalized six minutes into injury time.
Giaccherini intercepted a pass near midfield, dribbled by Bologna's entire defense and found the target from a sharp angle, while Raggi scored with a header from a corner.
Not having qualified for Europe this season, Juventus is keen on winning its first Italian Cup since 1995. The Bianconeri have won this competition nine times, matching Roma for the record.
Juventus will play the winner between Roma and Fiorentina in the quarterfinals.
Away woes
In Spain, Atletico Madrid's away woes worsened as it fell 1-2 at third-tier Albacete in the first leg of their Copa del Rey series.
While undefeated at home, Gregorio Manzano's Atletico has yet to win in seven away matches in Spanish competitions this season.
Also, Athletic Bilbao won 1-0 at third-division Oviedo thanks to Oscar de Marcos' first-half goal, but failed to capitalize on second-half dominance.
Albacete went ahead in the 31st minute through striker Antonio Calle's spot kick after Atletico defender Alvaro Dominguez handled inside the area.
Adrian Lopez had a chance to pull Atletico even in the 52nd when Miguel Nunez was red-carded for fouling Juanfran Torres in the box, but the striker sent his penalty over the crossbar.
Atletico's 1-0 win at Celtic last week in the Europa League is its only away win in any competition this season.
