2019/2020 Supercoppa Italiana
1-3
Match Report
Senad Lulic was the hero as Lazio secured a 3-1 Supercoppa Italiana triumph over Serie A champions Juventus.
Just over two weeks on from defeating the Bianconeri by the same score in the league, Lazio were once again the scourge of Maurizio Sarri's men in Riyadh.
Experienced captain Lulic was influential, playing a huge part in Luis Alberto's opener and guiding home a second-half strike on the volley after Paulo Dybala had levelled shortly before the break.
Danilo Cataldi scored an unstoppable free-kick, the awarding of which saw Rodrigo Bentancur sent off for a second bookable offence, to round out the win as Lazio, who also defeated Juve in the 2017 Supercoppa, won the prize for the fifth time.
Match Events
8' Alberto's long shot over the bar
The playmaker cuts inside from the left and fires a shot at goal which flies just above Szczesny’s goal, forcing the goalkeeper to leap up and guide it out of play!
16' GOAL! Juventus 0-1 Lazio (Alberto)
Lulic takes on De Sciglio down the left, sending the full-back to the ground before keeping the ball in and switching play to the far post for Milinkovic-Savic. The midfielder centres a pass to an oncoming Luis Alberto, who smashes the ball high into the goal!
30' CHANCE! Dybala's free kick inches wide
Ronaldo stands over the dead ball, but it’s the Argentina international who strokes a left-footed free-kick towards the far post. It forces a dive out of Strakosha, but he can ultimately watch it go wide.
45' GOAL! Juventus 1-1 Lazio (Dybala)
Ronaldo manages to fire a shot from just outside the penalty area - putting it through the legs of Luis Felipe in the process. Strakosha is unable to do anything more than push the ball to the right of his goal - where Dybala follows up and smashes the rebound past the goalkeeper!
49' Dybala's shot wide out
70' Ronaldo's long shot over the bar
Ronaldo lets fly with a dangerous snapshot, but it flies just over the top-left corner of the goal! Strakosha was in full-flight, but his strong hand wasn’t required.
73' GOAL! Juventus 1-2 Lazio (Lulic)
Lazzari cuts onto his left and fires a cross from the right wing, which is met with a flick-on by the head of Parolo. The service finds an open Lulic at the far post, who pushes the ball past Szczesny with the inside of his right foot!
93' Second Yellow Card! Bentancur sent off
Correa is sent through on goal thanks to a rapid counter-attack following the Juve free-kick, but Szczesny rushes off his line to make the save. The ball rolls to the edge of the penalty area where Bentancur steps in and catches Parolo - who would’ve attempted a shot at the open net. It’s only a yellow, but the Juve midfielder was already booked and therefore he’s given his marching orders!
94' GOAL! Juventus 1-3 Lazio (Cataldi)
What a stunning effort from Cataldi, who steps up for the free-kick and puts his right-footed effort underneath the top-right crossbar - smashing the woodwork before nestling comfortably into the back of the net! It’s a stunning effort - and one worthy of a cup victory!
