Lazio coach Stefano Pioli felt they were unlucky for defeat to Juventus in the Coppa Italia final.
Alessandro Matri came off the bench to hit the winner in last night's 2-1 victory.
"It was a balanced game where both teams gave everything and played to win. Of course, to win you need a little bit of luck and we didn't have that," Pioli told Rai Sport.
"We deserved another result, but considering the worth of our opponents, I can only compliment my players.
"Unfortunately you play to win a Final and it hurts to lose. This is football, it's made up of incidents and Juve made the most of that situation to score. My players played with quality and character.
"Now we have to recover and build on this performance, because our journey in the Coppa Italia is over, but not our season."
