Second-division team Spal will face Serie A champion Juventus in the Italian Cup quarterfinals after winning 2-0 at 10-man Sassuolo on Thursday. Spal is the only Serie B side left in the competition. Sassuolo, which had an impressive start to the Serie A season, was the better side in the first half but the match turned immediately after the restart when midfielder Filip Duricic was sent off for a dangerous tackle on Spal defender Leonardo Sernicola.
