On Sunday late evening at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, the final of the Italian Cup ("Coppa Italia") took place, where Milan's "Inter" footballers successfully defended the trophy won a year ago after a fierce battle by beating "Palermo" 3-1.
Leonardo's team took the lead after two goals by the Cameroonian national team striker Samuel Eto'o, but in the 88th minute, Ezequiel Munoz's header after a lifted corner kick brought back hope.
However, Munoz soon saw a red card for his last ditch foul against McDonald Mariga, and during injury time, "nerazzurri" sealed the victory with Diego Milito.
"Inter" won the national cup for the seventh time in the club's history.
