Milan (AFP) – Parma goalkeeper Simone Colombi’s late own goal sent Lazio through to the Italian Cup quarter-finals on Thursday after a 2-1 win in Rome.
Lazio midfielder Marco Parolo had nodded in the first goal from a curling Andreas Pereira cross on 23 minutes in the last-16 tie.
But Parma fought back, with Valentin Mihaila levelling for the visitors with seven minutes to go at the Stadio Olimpico.
