The 2009 Coppa Italia final was the final match of the 2008–09 Coppa Italia, the top cup competition in Italian football. The match was played at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on 13 May 2009 between Lazio and Sampdoria; Lazio won 6–5 on penalties after the match ended 1–1 after extra time. Hugo Campagnaro missed his spot kick for Sampdoria and allowed Ousmane Dabo to slot home the winner for Lazio.[2][3][4]
Route to the final
Pre-match
Team selection
Goran Pandev and Pasquale Foggia both returned to fitness for Lazio in the lead up to this match; however, they had to do without the services of their Brazilian midfielder Matuzalém, who missed out through suspension. Sampdoria welcomed back defensive duo Pietro Accardi and Stefano Lucchini, as well as Paolo Sammarco, who passed a late fitness test, to assure him of a spot in the final.[5]
Sampdoria coach Walter Mazzarri said that the final should be played in a neutral venue, and that it would give more balance to the match.[6]
Ticketing
Although the usual capacity of the Stadio Olimpico is over 72,000, not every single ticket has been sold. In fact, Lega Calcio decided to sell about 20,000 tickets for each club, and the remain tickets at the neutral public (even if they had been bought for the most part from Lazio fans because the final was in Rome). Lazio fans took place in "Curva Nord", while the Sampdoria ones at the opposite side. Between Lazio fans and Sampdoria fans a sector, the "Distinti Sud Est", has been left empty to leave a large space between the "Curva Sud" and the "Tribuna Tevere", due to avoid fights between fans. That space was occupied in part by children of the youth Lazio teams. At the end of the match, it has been counted about 50,000 Lazio fans and 18,000 Sampdoria fans.
Kits
Having been designated as the official "home" team, Lazio could wear their usual kit, that is the light-blue one. Nevertheless, Sampdoria could wear their home kit too, but with blue shorts instead of white ones.[7]

Post-match

Después del partido, algunos jugadores de la Lazio se pusieron una camiseta para bromear con sus rivales de la AS Roma con la inscripción " Io campione, tu zero titoli" ( Yo soy campeón, tú no tienes títulos ), citando una frase de José Mourinho que, a principios de temporada, había predicho correctamente que el Milan, la Juventus y la Roma terminarían la temporada sin títulos. [ 9 ] [ 10 ]
El capitán de la Lazio, Tommaso Rocchi , fue premiado por el Presidente de la República Italiana, Giorgio Napolitano , frente a la "Tribuna Montemario", quien le entregó el trofeo que Rocchi levantó junto al capitán de aquel partido, Cristian Ledesma .
Cristian Brocchi y Lorenzo De Silvestri dedicaron la victoria a Gabriele Sandri, un aficionado que fue asesinado la temporada pasada, [ 11 ] y el entrenador Delio Rossi dijo que el triunfo también estaba dedicado a los aficionados y a todos los que habían hecho muchos sacrificios para llevar al equipo a la final. [ 12 ]
Tras el partido, una minoría de aficionados de la Lazio se enfrentó a la policía e intentó destrozar tiendas en el centro de Roma después de la victoria sobre la Sampdoria, según un comunicado del 14 de mayo de 2009. La policía informó de tres detenciones antes y después de la final y añadió que cinco agentes resultaron heridos. [ 13 ] [ 14 ]
