Inter snatched Supercoppa Italiana glory from Juventus in extra-time at the Stadio San Siro thanks to a strong showing from Alessandro Bastoni and a winning goal from Alexis Sanchez to make it 2-1.
Two first-half goals from Weston McKennie and Lautaro Martinez meant the game was tied at 1-1 and had to go to extra-time.
As the match entered the 120th minute, Sanchez pounced on a loose ball on the box and smashed home the winner with the final kick of the game.

Player of the match – Alessandro Bastoni
Alessandro Bastoni is fast becoming one of Europe’s leading defenders and beyond being defensively sound all evening, the Italian also showed he is a real asset going forward for Inter. His crossing from the left is dangerous, and he can pick a pass without breaking stride.
