MILAN, Jan 13: Substitute Alexis Sánchez scored with the last kick of the match to help Inter Milan win the Italian Super Cup with a 2-1 victory over bitter rival Juventus after extra time on Wednesday.
Sánchez’s goal, helped by an error from the Juventus defense, sparked scenes of wild celebration at San Siro as almost every member of the Inter bench ran onto the field to embrace Sánchez in the far corner.
Lautaro Martínez had converted a penalty in the first half to cancel out American midfielder Weston McKennie’s opener for Juventus in an entertaining game for the first piece of silverware of the season. Sanchez has now scored three goals in his past five matches.
Juventus led in the 25th miunute when Álvaro Morata floated the ball back in for McKennie to head into the far side of the net.
Inter got a penalty ten minutes later after Juventus defender Mattia De Sciglio brought down Edin Džeko. Martínez blasted the penalty into the top right corner.
Juventus gifted Inter the winner. Bianconeri defender Alex Sandro tried to chest the ball to Chiellini but gave Matteo Darmian a chance to flick it on for Sánchez to fire home. (AP)
