Monza, Brescia Reach Coppa Italia Semifinals in Thrilling Fashion

Two underdogs from Serie B, Monza and Brescia, have pulled off major upsets in the Coppa Italia quarterfinals to reach the tournament's semifinals

Monza created perhaps the bigger shock by edging out Juventus 2-1 in Turin. Monza is currently in 12th place in Italy's second division while Juventus is a perennial contender for Serie A and a 14-time Coppa Italia winner.

Brescia's triumph wasn't quite as surprising, but still impressive. Brescia beat SPAL of Serie B 2-0.

Both Monza and Brescia are now just one win away from reaching the Coppa Italia final. Monza will face AC Milan in the semifinals, while Brescia will take on Fiorentina.

These two sides will face off in the semifinals on March 1st and 2nd.

Monza and Brescia's success in the Coppa Italia is a testament to the strength of Italy's lower divisions. Both teams have shown that they can compete with the best teams in the country.

It will be interesting to see if Monza and Brescia can continue their success in the semifinals. If they can, it would be a major upset and a great story for the underdogs.
