After the football scandal that shook Italy, Milan's Inter club was declared the new champion of Serie A and started the new season triumphantly. On Saturday, the Milan club defeated the capital team AS Roma 4-3 after an intense battle and won the Italian Super Cup.
The match started more actively for Luciano Spalletti's players, and already in the 13th minute, one of the team leaders, Alessandro Mancini, put Roma ahead. Before half an hour had passed, the score became 0-2, with Alberto Aquilani scoring. Ten minutes later, the young defender scored his second goal and Roma's lead became overwhelming.
Then, the Frenchman Patrick Vieira, who transferred from Juventus to Inter this summer, said his word, scoring in the first minute of the second half and reducing the lead for Roma.
In the 65th minute, the hopes of Inter were revived by Hernan Crespo, who was borrowed from Chelsea, scoring a goal and reducing his team's deficit to a minimum. Ten minutes later, the same Patrick Vieira scored his second goal in the match and equalized the result. The main time of the match ended with the scoreboard showing 3-3, so the winner had to be determined in extra time.
Just 5 minutes into the first extra time, a penalty kick was awarded to Roma, which was very successfully converted by the Portuguese Luis Figo, sending the ball into the net and putting his team ahead. Furthermore, during extra time, Roma's defender Christian Chivu received a red card and was sent off the field, so despite being three goals down in the first half, Inter celebrated victory with a 4-3 result.
