Fiorentina’s high press paid off to start a move that culminated in the Argentine latching onto Jonathan Ikoné’s ball to the back post and squeezing his effort past Samir Handanović. Inter fell into La Viola’s trap once again when Denzel Dumfries sloppily conceded possession on the edge of his own box, although Alessandro Bastoni got across to deny González on that occasion.YOU CAN WATCH GONZALEZ’S GOAL HERE.The Nerazzurri carved out an opportunity of their own when Lautaro Martínez raced behind and set up Edin Džeko, who sent his effort harmlessly over the crossbar. Martínez was far more clinical when his own chance arose, capitalising on Nikola Milenković dropping deeper than the rest of his backline by drilling the ball across Pietro Terracciano to equalise with his 100th goal for Inter. It took just eight minutes for the striker to find Milenković lacking again, latching onto Nicolò Barella’s cross ahead of the Serbian and providing a superb finish.YOU CAN WATCH LAUTARO’S FIRST GOAL HERE.Fiorentina defiantly fought back after the break, but Gaetano Castrovilli’s shot was deflected wide by Federico Dimarco, then Arthur Cabral rose well before only conjuring a tame header that was comfortably dealt with by Handanović. Romelu Lukaku offered a reminder of Inter’s threat after being introduced from the bench, turning Lucas Martínez Quarta and smashing a strike that was well saved, although it was their defensive organisation that proved decisive.YOU CAN WATCH LAUTARO’S SECOND GOAL HERE.Luka Jović was halted by Handanović then headed wide when Fiorentina finally found space in the box, as Inter held on to add the Coppa Italia to the Supercoppa Italiana they won earlier this campaign, providing the perfect boost ahead of the Serie A run-in and UEFA Champions League final. They also denied Fiorentina their first trophy since winning this competition in 2001, although La Viola will look to bounce back in the UEFA Europa Conference League final.COPPA ITALIAFinalFiorentina – Inter 1-2 (1-2)/Gonzalez 3 – Martinez 29, 37/
