After the lightning advantage of Nico Gonzalez, the Bull goes wild and drags the nerazzurri who repeat the success of a year ago and win the trophy for the ninth time
And there are nine. Inter beat Fiorentina 2-1 from behind with a splendid brace from Lautaro Martinez which replies to the immediate advantage scored by Nico Gonzalez and raises the second trophy of the season after the Super Cup won in Riyadh against Milan. Hoping that on 10 June in Istanbul they can become three, with the most important and beautiful one of all… It is the ninth Italian Cup for the nerazzurri, for Simone Inzaghi it is the third as a coach after those with Lazio in 2019 and always with the ‘Inter last season.
the match
—
Viola takes the lead in the first lunge (3′). Ikonè from the left who draws a low assist towards the far post: neither Dimarco nor Bastoni notices Nico Gonzalez behind them and the Argentine scores. In the 24th minute Dzeko finds himself alone in front of Terracciano but shoots over the crossbar devouring the equalizer. 5′ went by and Inter equalized: Brozovic caught Lautaro in the area with a splendid diagonal shot and the Bull with his right foot scored his 100th goal in the Nerazzurri shirt. And in the 37th minute it was he again who signed the pass: an assist from Barella and a volley from Lautaro on which Terracciano could do nothing. We go to rest on 2-1 Inter. Back on the pitch, Viola attacked in search of an equaliser, but it was still Inzaghi’s team that came close to scoring with a great blow from Lukaku from the edge. In the 74th minute Handanovic opposes Gonzalez for a corner. A moment later it was Biraghi who grazed the crossbar from 20 metres. Gosens then misses the match point with an empty net on an assist from Lukaku. Handa saves the result in the 80th minute on Jovic who broke free in the area. Immediately afterwards the same Serbian with his goal wide open puts a ball to the side that only needed to be pushed inside. It was then Gonzalez’s turn to sow panic in the Inter area, with his header rejected by Darmian after the Slovenian goalkeeper’s empty exit. It’s the ultimate thrill. The Coppa Italia belongs to Inter.
