Inter Milan is waiting for the winner of Juventus-Milan after defeating Atalanta (2-0) to decide who wins the Super Cup played in Arabia and where Inter defends its title. He better enter the Kingdom Arena, Al Nassr stadium, the team where CR7 plays, Simone Inzaghi’s team.
For 30 long minutes, Atalanta was completely unrecognizable and at the mercy of the Nerazzurri, who if they did not take the lead in the first half was due to a poor goal by Lautaro Martínez, very erratic in finishing in the situations in which he is usually dominant and Carnesecchi. The Italian goalkeeper made several worthy saves, one of them from Lautaro, who looked at him in disbelief. Scalvini had the clearest shot for Atalanta in the first action with a weak header into the hands of Sommer.
Gasperini introduced at the beginning of the second half one of the cards he had saved on the bench, Zaniolo’s.
However, the fight against the reigning champions in the first half came in the second. On a corner kick with a few touches inside the area, Dumfries first hit his head accidentally and up and then with a kind of scissors from the small area to make it (1-0). Gasperini reacted from the bench by bringing on Lookman and De Ketelaere, but the game was already in Inter’s territory. They retreated and barely gave an Atalanta a chance with the ball, but had no bite.
In a counterattack, Dumfries confirmed that he was dressing as Lautaro. A ball came to him fit and started high in front from the right and he hit the corner first to score a great goal and seal it. Atalanta could have entered the game with a goal from Ederson, but it was disallowed for offside. In stoppage time, Lookman would add some spice to the game with a triple shot that was met by a double response from Sommer.
Conceiçao’s first match for Milan
After the dismissal of Paulo Fonseca from Milan, the ‘era of Conceiçao’ starts today in the Super Cup against Juventus (8 pm), still unbeaten in Serie A, but with a close draw and not yet starting with Thiago Motta . The curiosity of the match is that the debut of the Portuguese coach, formerly of Porto, was against his son, Francisco Conceiçao. Undoubtedly, victory will give breath to the winner.
