Lautaro Martínez scored a dramatic, last-minute goal to secure Inter Milan’s 1-0 victory over Napoli in the Italian Super Cup final.
The match was characterized by significant tension and excitement, especially considering Napoli’s resilience despite playing with 10 men for half an hour following Giovanni Simeone’s red card. Lautaro’s celebration, marked by the removal of his jersey and a sprint to the Inter fans in Riyadh, encapsulated the team’s joy and elation at the hard-fought win.
This triumph marked Inter’s third consecutive Italian Super Cup victory, a remarkable achievement that underscores the team’s dominance in the competition. Notably, this victory holds even more significance as it came in the revamped format of the Italian Super Cup, which now includes the runners-up from both the Serie A and the Italian Cup.
Despite this initial success, both Lautaro and the team aim for loftier ambitions in the remainder of the season.
