Spot-kick books quarter-final place
A late Fabrizio Miccoli penalty was enough to earn Palermo a place in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia after a 1-0 win over Chievo.
The Palermo captain's 80th-minute spot-kick proved the difference between the two sides after he had been brought down by Brazilian defender Rincon.
Home side Palermo deserved the victory at the Renzo Barbera stadium having rattled the woodwork twice in the match.
Juventus host Catania on Thursday, while Napoli and Bologna, Sampdoria and Udinese, Roma and Lazio, and AC Milan and Bari meet next week.
Parma are already in the quarter-finals after beating Fiorentina 2-1 in December.
