20 January 2021The first trophy of the season was won by Juventus, who at the 'Mapei' in Reggio Emilia won the Italian Super Cup by beating Napoli 2-0.
For Andrea Pirlo's team (first title as a coach), which redeems the ugly defeat of San Siro with Inter in the league, it is the ninth triumph in this competition.
Mild rhythms in a very balanced first half, not beautiful, and with only one scoring opportunity, in favor of the Neapolitans: at 28 ', on Demme's cross from the left, Lozano's sure-shot header and great instinctive parade by Szczesny.
Cristiano Ronaldo's right touched the crossbar in the 40th minute.
More effervescent recovery.
Very dangerous Bianconeri after a few seconds (46 '): served by McKennie, the newly entered Bernardeschi (outside the Church) deflects in front of goal but without being able to impart power, Ospina is saved by blocking on the line.
A misunderstanding between the Colombian goalkeeper and Manolas is not punished for a short time by CR7 (touch in advance, but ball on the bottom), in the 64th minute Juve passes: Manolas risks his own goal by a whisker, on the next corner by Bernardeschi the carom ball on Bakayoko and ends up in Ronaldo, who does not forgive in turn.
At 80 'Napoli have the chance of a draw: the referee Valeri is recalled by the Var for an intervention by McKennie on Mertens, it is a penalty, but Insigne wastes everything by kicking to the side.
Last two emotions in full recovery: at 94 'Szczesny avoids extra time with another super intervention (foot) again on Lozano (conclusion soiled by Chiellini), at 95' open field restart by Cuadrado and doubling of Morata who starts at the Juventus party.
