In front of nearly 69,000 spectators at Rome's Stadio Olimpico, Inter needed only a single half to secure the Coppa Italia, their tenth title. In the final in Rome, Barella and his teammates immediately demonstrated they were in complete control of the match.
The first half ended 2-0. The game broke the deadlock in the 14th minute: a corner kick from the right, by Dimarco, who crossed into the center of the area. Thuram headed the ball in, but Marusic then deflected it into the Lazio net (an own goal).
The doubling came in the 35th minute and was born from a mistake by Tavares: the defender let the ball be stolen too easily by Dumfries who advanced into the penalty area and served Lautaro : the Argentine striker made no mistake with an empty net.
We head to the locker room. Upon returning, the game's momentum remains unchanged, despite Lazio's confused attempts to build an attacking maneuver.
