Lazio take first leg lead over Juve in Rome

ROME: Lazio came from behind to beat Juventus 2-1 at home in the first leg of their Italian Cup semifinal on Tuesday thanks to second-half goals by Goran Pandev and Tommaso Rocchi.

Macedonia striker Pandev controlled a rebounded Stephan Lichtsteiner shot before spinning around and finding the far corner on 65 minutes.

Rocchi then sprinted on to a though ball and slid in to fire home and give the Rome side a precious advantage 12 minutes from time.
