But Dybala came on after halftime and set up Lukaku's score before converting a penalty five minutes from time. Roma captain Lorenzo Pellegrini had hit the crossbar midway through the first half.

The derby with Lazio will be played next week, with Lazio having eliminated Genoa last month. Also, Charles De Ketelaere scored two goals and set up another to lead Atalanta to a 3-1 win over Sassuolo and a quarterfinal matchup with AC Milan. Milan eliminated Cagliari on Tuesday.

On loan from Milan, the 22-year-old De Ketelaere didn't meet expectations upon his arrival in Italy with Milan last season. But he's flourishing on loan at Atalanta this campaign and will now meet the club that owns his contract.
