Lazio took an early lead but couldn't withstand constant Juve pressure and will have to settle for a Third Place play-off against derby rivals, Roma. Juve will take on Inter in the final.
Cristian's early free kick forced Bernardo into a save but Guillermo was on hand to dispatch the rebound.
Guillermo had a good chance to double the lead soon after but, this time, he missed and Juve scored on the break. Anthony played Pietro in and Il Mueller di Ambrit scored.
Juve's second goal was mired in controversy. Giuseppe took another long throw and referee Corcoran awarded a goal when Giacomo appeared to touch the ball before it went in. Lazio protested but the goal was given.
Shortly afterwards, Pietro made it 3-1 and then almost 4-1 but Giacomo made a fantastic save to keep him out.
Lazio threw caution to the wind for the last few minutes but they were unable to break down Juve's solid rearguard.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH: Elias 6, Giuseppe 5, Anthony 3, Andrea 2, Cristian 2, Pietro 1, Bernardo 1, Alessandro Z 1
