Inter 1-2 Juventus In the first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal
Juventus came from behind to record a 2-1 loss from below in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Tuesday evening.
Lautaro Martinez‘s early opener was destroyed by one Cristiano Ronaldo scrap, as the Portuguese became the greatest ever goalscorer in football, bringing his total to 763.
below led in just the ninth minute. A quick counterattack ended as Nicolo Barella – which Juventus almost single-handedly beat in Serie A – aimed at Lautaro, whose driven effort went Gianluigi Buffon to crawl over the line.
But Ashley Young gave the Bianconeri a way back. The Englishman pulled unnecessarily Juan Cuadrado‘s arm, bringing the Colombian to the ground, if Federico Bernardeschi had completely crossed a cross.
A penalty was given after VAR intervention, and Cristiano Ronaldo emphatically ready.
Saw another mistake Juventus getting themselves up front. Samir Handanovic and Alessandro Bastoni got confused and Cristiano took the ball off the Italian’s toe. With Handanovic far from goal he passed from a small angle.
Buffon did well to deny Matteo Darmian in the second half, and Merih demiral had to be one Alexis Sanchez effort, but despite all of Inter’s possession, they couldn’t find a way to beat the veteran goalkeeper again.
