The Japanese striker netted in the 89th minute to send Catania through on away goals after the first leg ended 3-2 in Udinese's favour.

The visitors got off to the perfect start when Simone Pepe put them in front in the first minute.

But Gionatha Spinesi levelled for Catania from the penalty spot a minute before half-time before Morimoto won it late on.

Silvio Baldini's men will now play Roma in the last four, the Giallorossi having beaten Reggina on Tuesday night.
