Fiorentina survived a late scare to seal a place in the Coppa Italia semi-finals thanks to a 3-2 victory over Lazio.
Adrian Mutu, who has been linked with a return to the Premier League with Roberto Mancini's Manchester City, set La Viola on their way with a first-half brace.
It took the former Chelsea striker just nine minutes to open the scoring and he doubled his tally on the stroke of half-time.
Lazio looked to stage a comeback and Mauro Zarate reduced the deficit five minutes after the break.
However, Per Kroldrup restored Fiorentina's two-goal advantage nine minutes later.
Tommaso Rocchi pulled another one back for Lazio in the 69th minute but the Biancocelesti could not complete their fightback.
Fiorentina will meet either Inter Milan or Juventus in the two-legged semi-final with the pair set to clash at the San Siro on January 28.
