In France and England, national championship meetings were already played yesterday, while in Italy Turin's "Juventus" and Rome's "Lazio" fought for the Supercoppa.
The defenders of last season's Serie A champions had some trouble in the middle of the field - the capital's footballers led by Massimiliano Allegri outperformed their opponents in ball control.
Nevertheless, neither the time spent with the ball, nor just three shots on goal prevented the "bianconeri" from winning. "Juve" paved the way to victory in the second half.
In the 69th minute, after Stefano Sturaro's pass from the edge, Mario Mandžukič scored a header, and just five minutes later Paulo Dybala accurately assisted Paul Pogba.
