Inter see off Juve to win Italian Cup after penalty drama
Inter Milan claimed their eighth Italian Cup on Wednesday after overcoming old foes Juventus 4-2 in an extra-time victory full of incident and controversy.
Ivan Perisic secured a thrilling win with a double in the first half of extra time but the match hung on the awarding of a soft-seeming penalty which Hakan Calhanoglu smashed in to take the match past 90 minutes.
Juve had been deservedly leading through quickfire goals from Alex Sandro and Dusan Vlahovic early in the second half and referee Paolo Valeri's decision to give the spot-kick after Lautaro Martinez fell following a slight touch from Leonardo Bonucci enraged Juve.
For Inter it is another success over Juve after winning the Italian Super Cup earlier in the season and will boost them in their Serie A title defence.
Inter trail AC Milan by two points and could hand their local rivals the Scudetto if they don't beat relegation-threatened Cagliari on Sunday.
Nicolo Barella gave Inter the lead in the sixth minute with a long-range effort which would soon be forgotten amid the controversy to come.
His thumping strike came after a blistering start from Inter which threatened to blow Juve away, the Italy international collecting after a corner was cleared, cutting in side and unleashing a curling effort which Mattia Perin didn't even bother trying to stop.
- Penalty drama -
However from then on Juve were the better team and should have gone in at the break at least level, if not ahead.
Paulo Dybala was the first to offer signs of life in the 23rd minute when his low shot was comfortably saved.
Moments later the Argentine fed Vlahovic whose powerful, angled drive needed smart reactions from Samir Handanovic to be kept out.
Matthijs de Ligt had a header well saved on he half-hour mark and it looked for all the world that Dybala would bag a deserved leveller when the subsequent corner fell kindly to him, but he sliced his first-time strike wide.
Juve soon turned the match on its head though, with Sandro levelling the scores five minutes after the break when his shot slipped through Handanovic's hands as Alvaro Morata tried to deflect the ball.
The Juve fans were jumping and their end of the ground exploded with joy seconds later, Vlahovic ending a four-match dry spell in front of goal after being sent flying through on goal by Dybala.
The Serbia forward sent Danilo D'Ambrosio packing and although his first effort was kept out, he made no mistake on the rebound.
Juve looked to have the game under control until referee Valeri handed Inter an ill-deserved lifeline.
Calhanoglu rifled home from the spot and an already fired-up Juve team then lost control when De Ligt was ruled after a VAR check to have chopped down Stefan de Vrij.
Perisic stepped up to smashed in the penalty in the 98th minute and once the Croat's decisive second flew in from distance there was chaos, with Massimiliano Allegri sent off and players and officials tussling on the sidelines.
However Juve couldn't launch a fightback and Inter took the honours with the league season climax around the corner.
