The Juventus era is over – this is the conquest era of the mighty Inter! The Nerazzurri could not have chosen a more dramatic way to reach the sixth trophy in the Italian Super Cup, but also to confirm winning the Scudetto from last year. They have defeated the Old Lady with a goal by Alexis Sanchez in the 120th minute. It was the latest scored goal in the history of this competition, but also the moment that completely caught Giuseppe Meazza ‘on fire’: Inter – Juventus 2:1. 3 – Simone #Inzaghi has become the manager to have beaten Juventus in the most Finals since 1929/30: he has won each of his three Finals against the Bianconeri in the Italian Super Cup.

After everything which happened during the 120 minutes, it seemed that the winner would be decided on a penalty roulette, but the whistle of the judge Daniel Doveri in the last moments of the second overtime was preceded by the cunning Alexis Sanchez. Alex Sandro is the man to blame for Juventus defeat, as he is the one who, after Federico Dimarco’s cross decided to receive the ball on his chest, instead of sending it away from his goal, which was punished by the Chilean striker and sent the ball behind the helpless Matia Perrin.Alex Sandro was the direct culprit for the defeat, but he is not the only player of the Juventus defense who made a catastrophic mistake in Milan. De Sciglio was the one who made a challenge on Džeko for the penalty spot in the 35th minute and allowed Inter to equalize through Lautaro Martinez’s powerful shot. That moment additionally influenced the mood of the hosts, who could have solved the issue of the winner much earlier, but Massimiliano Allegri’s team somehow consolidated and successfully defended their net. However, Alexis Sanchez was extremely motivated to be the man who will decide the match in overtime. First, in the 96th minute, he shot with his head next to the right post, and then he was in the right place to punish Alex Sandro’s great stupidity.Juventus played quite well after McKenzie’s goal, which was sponsored by the rather bad reaction of Milan Skriniar, but also the bad placement of Stefan De Vrij. However, everything turned around after the penalty kick, when Allegri and his team no longer managed to stop the ‘cars going downhill’, although at one point it seemed that they would get the opportunity to decide their fate on penalty roulette.
