Will there be extra-time if the score is level?

Not anymore there won’t.

Organisers have confirmed that they have scrapped extra-time in the Coppa Italia for the remainder of the season to minimise player’s injuries.

Therefore Wednesday night’s final will go straight to penalties if the match is drawn after 90 minutes.
