Italian champion Inter became the country’s new Super Champion after beating Juventus in a 2-1 Super Cup dispute after extra time. Alexis Sanchez became the hero of the Nerazzurri, scoring the winning goal in the last attack of the match already in the 121 minute of extra time. However, it was not without the mistake of the defender of “Juve” Alex Sandro, who instead of knocking the ball away for some reason decided to stop him with his chest. Unfortunately, Darmian was next to him, who continued on to his partner and Sanchez calmly tweaked the ball into the corner of the goal.
And yet the victory of “Inter” was absolutely deserved, as at “Giuseppe Meazza” the Milanese surpassed the Turints in all respects. Although the account was opened quite unexpectedly by the guests. Weston McKenny took advantage of Morata’s serve and headed the ball into the corner of the goal. The Milanese played back in ten minutes, when a penalty was awarded for a foul on Dzeko, which was perfectly executed by Lautaro Martinez. In other moments, the goalkeeper of Turin Perin, who replaced the anti-waxer Schensny, played excellently, but in the last attack of “Inter” there was still a misfortune.
Inter won the sixth Italian Super Cup in their history and the first one after 11 years. But for their coach Sione Inzaghi, this trophy became the third in his coaching career after two victories with Lazio. For Juventus, it was the eighth defeat in the finals with nine wins.
The trophy is a trophy, albeit such a one-match one, and the loss at the last minute of the extra half-hour was offensive for the Turin players, some of whom did not hide their tears. But “Inter” at its stadium with a few, but still present fans, was in “seventh heaven”.
