Fiorentina sealed their place in the Coppa Italia final after a 0-0 draw against Cremonese on Thursday at Stadio Artemio Franchi, securing a 2-0 aggregate win.
A frantic start to the game did not lead to any goals, with few clear-cut chances for either team despite the pace of the play in the first half.
It took until the 73rd minute for Cremonese to have anything that could be called a chance, with Charles Pickel seeing a close-range header closed down by Fiorentina goalkeeper Pietro Terracciano.
Nicolas Gonzalez curled a shot wide at the other end moments later, but on the whole, it was a match devoid of any serious opportunities.
The hosts hit the target just once from 13 attempts, while Cremonese could only muster two shots at all as Vincenzo Italiano’s men comfortably kept them at bay.
Fiorentina will be hoping to rediscover the form that recently saw them win 10 games in a row, having not claimed victory in four, but have almost a month to prepare for Inter, when they will look to lift their seventh Coppa Italia.
La Viola will face the Nerazzurri in the final on May 24 after Simone Inzaghi’s men dumped out Juventus in the other semi-final on Wednesday.
