Gallery: Primavera reach cup quarter-final with win over Palermo

Goals from Andrea Ciofi and Keres Masangu either side of half-time proved enough for the Under-19s.

The Primavera will now face Bari, who beat Lazio, for a place in the semi-finals.

"The physical freshness of our opponents was obvious," De Rossi said. "Today we had a very dangerous game... but we were able to do it."
