Juventus are showing mercy, keeping possession inside their own end. Torino are wise to avoid pressing high up the pitch, because the way the hosts have passed the ball about in the second half you wouldn't bet against them grabbing another if pushed into doing so.
87'
Hernanes enters the game and replaces C. Marchisio.
Hernanes gets a brief cameo at the end of this match to test out his injured thigh. Marchisio gives way.
86'
STAT: Torino have lost five consecutive Coppa Italia matches on their travels, scoring just twice in those matches while conceding 11. Their last away victory in the competition came in December 2008 against Fiorentina.
84'
Insult to injury for Torino who have been ripped apart this evening at the hands of their rivals. Their Coppa Italia title drought will extend another year, but that's the least of their worries at the moment. They have been stripped of all pride and bragging rights tonight by their inner-city rivals.
82'
Danilo Avelar enters the game and replaces E. Moretti.
S. Padoin enters the game and replaces S. Khedira.
P. Pogba has scored a goal for Juventus!
Second change for Juventus as Simone Padoin replaces Khedira, who put in a strong 80 minutes tonight, passing the ball about well and moving even better off of it.
Final change as well for Torino who bring on Danilo Avelar for Moretti.
STUNNER! ABSOLUTE STUNNER! Pogba lines up a free kick from just under 30 yards out, and curls an absolute lightning bolt into the top corner! Ichazo had no chance at keeping that one out!
79'
SHOULD BE FOUR! Torino carved apart yet again as Morata is able to go through with teammates to either side and only Glik back in defence. He tries to take the chance himself, but can't navigate his shot past Ichazo, who got down well to make the save.
77'
Juventus aren't relinquishing possession as they see out this commanding lead. The tempo has fizzled out and there are no signs of a fight back from Torino. This promises to be a rather uneventful final 15 minutes or so.
75'
Frustration has set in for Torino, who look like they want nothing more than to pack up and put this game behind them. They will consider themselves a bit unlucky considering how events panned out early in the second half, but the gulf in class has been undeniable throughout.
73'
P. Dybala has scored a goal for Juventus!
GAME, SET, MATCH! He's not going to miss those often! Excellent work from Sandro on the left in the buildup, and the ball eventually comes to Dybala in acres of space atop the area. He has a quick look up and places an unstoppable shot in at the far post.
Minute
Description
71'
STUNNING CONTROL FROM DYBALA! Chiellini's ball over the top for the striker is taken down beautifully by the substitute who then unleashes a venomous volley at goal, but from a tight angle he's unable to negotiate an opening between Ichazo and his near post.
69'
STRAIGHT AT ICHAZO! The next goal has to fall to Torino if they are to have any hopes of making for an exciting conclusion to the match, but at the moment it is Juventus who are looking likelier to add to their lead. Marchisio latches onto a pass and drives a powerful effort at goal, but it's too close to the keeper.
67'
STAT: Juventus have won an impressive 11 of the last 13 encounters with Torino (D1, L1), keeping 10 clean sheets over that span.
65'
G. Silva enters the game and replaces D. Baselli.
Gaston Silva is also introduced for Torino, at the expense of Baselli.
64'
F. Quagliarella enters the game and replaces A. Belotti.
First change for the visitors sees Fabio Quagliarella replace Belotti.
63'
JUST WIDE! Dybala has been in exceptional form of late and the Argentina forward nearly produces another terrific strike as he takes a pass atop the area, switches onto his left and curls an effort just wide of the far post, beyond the fingertips of Ichazo.
61'
CLOSE! Torino muster a real chance on the break as Lopez picks out a proper ball for Belotti who gets behind the defence. Bonucci does enough to stay with him and force a difficult angle for the shot, which the striker sends crashing into the side netting.
59'
Juventus are completely dominating possesion as they try and suffocate the tempo and see the result through comfortably over the final half-hour. Torino will have to throw caution to the wind if they are to have any hopes of mounting a comeback.
57'
Juventus are in complete control now as Torino struggle to keep their heads up following this nightmarish sequence of events to start the second half. The visiting fans aren't leaving the stadium, but they probably feel they could without missing much.
55'
STAT: Torino have advanced on each of the three occasions in which these two sides faced off in the Coppa Italia knockout stage (1980, 1988, 1993).
53'
P. Dybala enters the game and replaces S. Zaza.
And not a second too soon, Zaza is subbed off. He's got away with one, the striker! He was lucky not to be dismissed in the first half and has made the most of his second chance, scoring both goals to give Juventus a comfortable lead. Paulo Dybala replaces him.
51'
S. Zaza has scored a goal for Juventus!
ANOTHER NAIL IN THE TORINO COFFIN! Zaza shows exquisite control to bring down a ball in the box, fake a shot to get Moretti commit, then switch back onto his left and fire a shot through a mess of legs and into the far bottom corner.
49'
C. Molinaro gets a second yellow card and is sent off.
TORINO DOWN TO 10 MEN! It's a harsh second booking on Molinaro, considering what Zaza has gotten away with up to this point, and the wing-back absolutely cannot believe his luck here. He's given his marching orders and that could be it for Torino's chances.
48'
Zaza really has to be careful. There's a fine line between passionate and simply careless, and he's walking on the wrong side of it at the moment. The striker practically tackles Moretti from behind to concede a free kick, and the defender appears to have picked up an injury as well.
47'
CRACKING START! Morata forces Ichazo into a spectacular save at his near post, then from the ensuing corner the ball finds its way into the back of the net... but the flag goes up for offside which denies Juventus their second.
46'
Back underway in Turin!
45' +1
HALF TIME: JUVENTUS 1-0 TORINO.
45'
There will be one minute added on at the end of this first half.
44'
The battle wages on in midfield with both sides being made to fight for every inch of space. There's no guarantees in football, but it would be quite a surprise if we finished this match with 11-a-side.
42'
A. Acquah gets yellow.
A bit of revenge here, perhaps, from Acquah as he kicks out at Morata and sends the striker to ground writhing in pain. The one who retaliates is usually the one punished, and that is the case here as he sees yellow.
41'
He's at it again! This one somehow doesn't get a second look from the referee, but Zaza came flying into a challenge at the halfway line and clatters into Acquah in mid-air, sending the midfielder crashing into the ground. The striker has steam coming out of his ears at the moment and is walking on very thin ice.
39'
C. Marchisio gets yellow.
Good running from Belotti who is eventually tripped up from behind by Marchisio, who becomes the second Juventus player to be booked in this first half.
37'
The tempo is starting to pick up again as we approach the interval. Lopez and Belotti are getting more involved, as we haven't seen nearly enough from them up to this point. Torino are starting to grow in confidence as they look to negotiate an equaliser before the interval.
35'
C. Molinaro gets yellow.
Nothing particularly malicious in the tackle from Molinaro, but he's been at the wrong end of those too many times tonight and finally finds himself in the referee's book as a result.
34'
BETTER! Encouraging piece of play from the visitors as Baselli holds the ball up well in an advanced position before laying off for Belotti. The striker picks his head up and sees an opening, but his strike swerves just wide of the far post.
32'
Torino are attempting to fight back but aren't having much success translating their possession into chances. They haven't posed much of a threat in attack, however, as the link between midfield and the two strikers is sorely lacking.
30'
STAT: Torino earned a 2-1 victory over Juventus in April, courtesy of Fabio Quagliarella’s winning goal, ended a 20-year wait to beat their city rivals last season.
28'
S. Zaza has scored a goal for Juventus!
CONTROVERSY AS JUVENTUS TAKE THE LEAD! The man who has been at the centre of attention for the last five minutes, for all the wrong reasons, is the one who puts Juventus ahead as he guides a terrific first-time strike into the top corner! Absolutely delightful work from Morata as well in the buildup to beat two defenders and pick out his strike partner in the centre.
25'
NEAR DISASTER FOR BOTH TEAMS! A careless back-pass puts Ichazo under pressure from Zaza, but the keeper does well to get the ball away from harm before being taken out hard by the striker. Torino players plead their case for a second yellow card, and there is a strong argument to be made. Zaza will consider himself lucky to still be on the pitch here.
23'
S. Zaza gets yellow.
Tempers boiling over! There's a large group of player who come together near the halfway line following a challenge from Zaza on Peres, who remains down. It was incredibly careless from the striker and he now has the likes of Glik and Lopez to deal with, while Chiellini and Pogba step in to defend their teammate.
21'
MASSIVE COLLISION! Wow did that ever appear to hurt! Glik reads the play brilliantly and steps in to break up a pass intended for Zaza, but collides visciously with the striker who goes flying to ground. The defender made clear contact with the ball so there is no foul given, but both players are feeling the effects of that coming together.
19'
Juventus are starting to take control a bit, largely due to the impressive work being put in by their midfielders. Lichtsteiner and Sandro are also finally starting to provide the width they have been lacking going forward.
17'
STAT: The last time these two sides met in the Coppa Italia came in the semi-final in 1993. Both matches ended in a draw, 1-1 in Torino and 2-2 in Juventus, with the Granata advancing on away goals.
15'
Molinaro narrowly escapes the first booking of the match as he arrives late with a slide into the ankle of Lichtsteiner. The Swiss full-back goes down rather theatrically, however, which perhaps hurts his cause, even though there was clear and strong contact made.
13'
Torino are finding some excellent openings out wide for the likes of Bruno Peres and Molinaro to exploit. They have good width to their attack early on, while Juventus are enjoying the bulk of their success building through the centre, with the likes of Pogba and Marchisio especially lively thus far.
11'
There is an incredible tempo to this match through the opening stages. Back and forth the teams go, exchanging attacks. We have yet to see either goalkeeper sprung into action but it certainly hasn't been for a lack of trying - the end product is just lacking a bit at the moment.
9'
VITAL DEFENSIVE HEADER! Superb work ethic shown by Bruno Peres as he smartly tracks back, showing excellent pace to get on the end of Lichtsteiner's cross, sniffing out the run of Pogba at the far post. That could have been 1-0!
7'
Back the other way come the visitors, not to be outdone, and they win a free kick in a precarious position down the right. Bruno Peres whips a decent delivery into the area from the ensuing set piece, but a foul by Moretti on Bonucci brings the chance to an end.
5'
The first sign of attack is posed by Juventus as Pogba does well to win the ball in midfield and start a break. He finds Morata on the left, but the striker lacks the pace to get behind the defence and is forced to retreat. A few passes later the ball ends up safely in the arms of Ichazo.
3'
Possession shared evenly in these early stages as the two sides start by trying to feel each other out. Neither show much intent on getting forward as of yet, though the highly-physical nature of the fixture is already evident.
1'
Underway in the Derby della Mole, as Juventus get us going, kicking right to left.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Turin Derby from Juventus Stadium, with a spot in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals on the line. Massimiliano Allegri has Juventus back to winning ways, with the defending champions coming into the match on the back of six-successive league victories. Giampiero Ventura’s side have rounded into form themselves, unbeaten in four since a defeat to Inter at the start of November.
These two clubs share an impressive history and have come together for some memorable clashes over the years. Juventus ended a lengthy Coppa Italia drought with their success last season, while their inner-city rivals have not hoisted the trophy since 1976. It has been well over 20 years since the two clubs met in the competition, but tonight Torino get their chance to pull off the upset and end Juventus’ hopes of a successful title defence.
Juventus are somewhat depleted in midfield, with Hernanes (thigh), Kwadwo Asamoah and Mario Lemina (both knee) out, while Robert Pereyra is not yet fit enough for a return. As a result, Sami Khedira, Claudio Marchisio and Paul Pogba are not given a rest. Stephan Lichtsteiner and Alex Sandro are brought in as wing-backs, with Patrice Evra and Juan Cuadrado rotated out. Simone Zaza and Alvaro Morata are recalled in place of Paulo Dybala and Mario Mandzukic, while Daniele Rugani replaces Andrea Barzagli in defence.
Tests confirmed that Marco Benassi (thigh) would be forced to miss the derby, and he is relaced by Alessandro Gazzi. Salvador Ichazo gets the nod in defence ahead of Daniele Padelli, while the hero against Roma on the weekend Maxi Lopez starts in place of Fabio Quagliarella.
What an atmosphere inside the Juventus Stadium! There's nothing quite like a proper derby, and that's exactly what this is. Here we go!
Simone Zaza has Juventus ahead after 45 minutes in this latest edition of the Derby della Mole, though it comes with a bit of controversy as he could well have been sent off a few minutes earlier. Chances have been fer and far between as we enter half time of what has resembled more of fight night in Turin than a football match.
FULL TIME: JUVENTUS 4-0 TORINO. Simone Zaza's brace highlights a resounding derby win for the Bianconeri who book their place in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals. Paulo Dybala and Paul Pogba added the others as Juventus match their biggest win in the Derby della Mole since 2002.
That is all for our live coverage from the Juventus Stadium - thanks for following along! Good bye.
