Inter 1-2 Juventus In the first stage of the Coppa Italia semi-final
Juventus came from behind to a 2-1 defeat of Inter in the first inning of their Coppa Italia semi-final on Tuesday night at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
Lautaro Martinez‘s early opener was overturned by a Cristiano Ronaldo brace, as Portuguese football became the biggest goal scorer ever by taking his score to 763.
Inter led only in the ninth minute. A quick counter-attack ends when Nicolo Barella – which beat Juventus almost single-handedly in Serie A – centered on Lautaro, whose driven effort has been successful Gianluigi Buffon to crawl across the line.
But Ashley Young gave the Bianconeri a way back. The Englishman pulls unnecessarily Juan Cuadradoarm, which brings the Colombian to the ground, as Federico Bernardeschi completely overshadowed a cross.
A fine was given after VAR intervention, and Cristiano Ronaldo emphatically finished.
Another bug saw Juventus get themselves ahead. Samir Handanovic and Alessandro Bastoni confused themselves and Cristiano takes the ball from the Italian’s tone. With Handanovic far from the goal he entered from a narrow angle.
Buffon well done for denying Matteo Darmian in the second half, and Merih Demiral had to block Alexis Sanchez effort, but for all the possession of Inter they could not find a way to beat the veteran goalkeeper.
