Mario Gomez scored twice and Juan Cuadrado converted from 12 yards as Fiorentina saw off the resistance of Atalanta to progress to the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia. Rolando Bianchi reduced the arrears shortly before the interval with an unstoppable curling effort into the bottom corner but there was to be no second-half comeback for the visitors. Alessandro Diamanti made his Viola bow as a late substitute while Marcos Alonso saw red for a second booking. A trip to the Stadio Olimpico now awaits, with Roma playing host on Tuesday 3 February.
