The final score between Inter and Lazio was 3-0. The Milanese also showed their fearsome form in the semi-finals of the Super Coppa and literally shot the Biancocelesti out of the KSU Stadium in the Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh. This is the finale of this tournament. The fashion city residents will meet Napoli next Monday at 20.00 p.m. The current crisis-hit champions from last season also shot their way into the final with a 3-0 win against Fiorentina.

In the 17th minute on Friday evening, striker Marcus Thuram paved the way to the final. The Frenchman skillfully took a wonderful cross in the penalty area and pushed the ball over the line to make it 1-0. Hakan Calhanoglou (50th), who was in great form, continued, converting another perfect penalty into the top left corner to make it 2-0. After shots at the post by Nicolo Barella and Lautaro Martinez, Davide Frattesi (87') sealed the Romans' fate and finally kicked them out of the tournament with his 3-0 win.

Fuss about the tournament

At the Super Coppa, in which the semi-finals and final take place in Saudi Arabia, those responsible had to face harsh accusations, thanks in part to the current war in Israel. The lack of spectators and comments from local journalists who asked the Italians why they sent the “smaller” clubs from Florence and Rome instead of Milan and Juventus also caused criticism.
