Inter Lift Supercoppa After Penalty Drama

Internazionale 2-2 AS Roma (6-5 pens.)

After a thrilling 2-2 draw and a barren period of extra time, the most dramatic of penalty shootouts eventually saw Inter captain Javier Zanetti seal the win after Totti and Juan missed their spot-kicks...

Jose Mourinho's side took the lead through new-signing Sulley Muntari, before Daniele DeRossi equalized early in the second half. The San Siro then erupted when Mario Balotelli's cool finish gave Inter an advantage once again on 84 minutes, but Mirko Vucinic equalized from a corner in the 89th minute and the match went into overtime!

The overtime remained scoreless and the game went to penalties. Vucinic, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Julio Baptista, Balotelli, and Marco Cassetti all scoring before Dejan Stankovic slammed his penalty against the bar. DeRossi and Maxwell then converted before Francesco Totti took an identical penalty to Stankovic, his penalty staying out after hitting the crossbar. It went to sudden death as Julio Cesar saved Jaun's spot-kick before Captain Javier Zanetti won it for the Nerrazzuri to start off their season in a dramatic and victorious fashion.
