MIRKO Vucinic scored in the fifth minute of extra time as Serie A leader Juventus came back to beat AC Milan 2-1 to reach the Italian Cup semifinals.
Having replaced Sebastian Giovinco in the second half, Vucinic received a pass from Paolo de Ceglie and slotted a shot in from the edge of the box as Milan's defense struggled to keep up.
Milan had gone ahead six minutes in at Juventus Stadium when Stephen El Shaarawy scored with a bouncing shot from the edge of the area. Giovinco equalized for Juventus in the 12th minute from a free-kick.
The victory was a big relief for Juventus following a painful 1-2 loss at home to 10-man Sampdoria on Sunday.
"This was a great response," Juventus coach Antonio Conte said.
In the two-leg semifinals later this month, Juventus will face Lazio, which beat Catania 3-0 on Tuesday.
In the other quarterfinals next week, Inter Milan hosts Bologna and Roma visits Fiorentina.
