BERGAMO, Italy (Reuters) – Bologna substitute Santiago Castro scored two minutes after coming on to secure a late 1-0 win at Atalanta on Tuesday, sending them into the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia.

Charalampos Lykogiannis delivered a perfect free kick into the box for the Argentine striker, who fired home with his first touch of the match in the 80th minute.

Bologna keeper Lukasz Skorupski had prevented Atalanta from taking the lead early in the second half, diving to the left to keep out Raoul Bellanova’s first-time effort.

AC Milan will host AS Roma in the second quarter-final on Wednesday.
