Inter secures a spot in the final of the Italian Supercup, where they will face Napoli, after overwhelming Lazio 3-0 in Riyadh. Inzaghi’s team dominated the match from the first to the last minute, displaying technical, tactical, and physical superiority over the Biancocelesti. Thuram, Calhanoglu, and Frattesi scored the goals that earned them a place in the Final Four’s ultimate showdown.
Nerazzurri Monologue
Inter set the pace from the start, putting pressure on Lazio with fluid and vertical ball possession. The trio of Mkhitaryan, Calhanoglu, and Barella orchestrated the manoeuvre, supported by full-backs Darmian and Dimarco, while Lautaro and Thuram troubled the Lazio defense with their movements and shots. The breakthrough came in the 17th minute, when Dimarco provided a back heel assist to Thuram, who tapped it in from close range. Inter continued to waste opportunities, hitting the crossbar twice with Barella and Lautaro, while Lazio struggled to react, relying on off-target shots from Felipe Anderson, Pedro, and Vecino.
In the second half, Inter doubled their lead with a penalty converted by Calhanoglu, awarded for a foul by Pedro on Lautaro. Lazio tried to change things with the introductions of Luis Alberto, Cataldi, Pellegrini, and Isaksen, but Inter maintained control of the game and came close to a third goal with Lautaro hitting the crossbar again and a free-kick from Dimarco. The third goal arrived in the 87th minute when Frattesi, just substituted in, capitalized on a counterattack initiated by Lautaro and beat Provedel with a precise diagonal shot.
