Inter Win Coppa Italia

(1/5) > >>

Woozie:





































Inter have beaten Roma to the Coppa Italia - their first piece of silverware in seven years - with a Sinisa Mihajlovic strike.


Patron Massimo Moratti had previously only ever been able to celebrate the 1998 UEFA Cup and the club hadn't lifted the Coppa Italia since 1982.


The Giallorossi needed nothing short of a miracle to recover from their 2-0 first leg home defeat, but opted to leave Vincenzo Montella on the bench. Adriano scored twice in Rome and was absent along with the other South Americans due to the Confederations Cup.


It was a fiery start and Gianluca Curci punched Ze Maria's cross off Obafemi Martins' head, though Kily Gonzalez was unable to get his follow-up into the empty net. Simone Perrotta was also forced into a desperate challenge as Martins was freed by a Christian Panucci error and Curci got down to block a long-range Julio Cruz effort.


There was controversy on 32 minutes when Martins managed to out-sprint six Roma players to get to the ball and Curci went to ground. The Nigerian believed it was a penalty - and it's not clear whether the goalkeeper made contact with the ball - but the referee waved play on.


Soon after Cruz also burst through the centre and was brought down from behind by Philippe Mexes, though the Frenchman escaped without a booking. From the resulting free kick, Sinisa Mihajlovic curled the ball just past the top corner.


Coach Bruno Conti had to take risks for the final 45 minutes and threw on Vincenzo Montella for Olivier Dacourt. The Aeroplanino had Roma's first real chance soon after as Francesco Toldo rushed off his line to clear Francesco Totti's pass.


However, it was Inter who broke the deadlock with a classic Sinisa Mihajlovic free kick from 25 metres that Curci was only able to fingertip on to the upright.


Panucci was fortunate to stay on the field when he dragged Martins down by his jersey, as the ex-Inter defender had already been booked. Toldo only parried a fierce Totti effort, but any remaining hope Roma had went out of the window when Leandro Cufre received his second yellow card for a futile handling offence.


Cruz went close with a couple of headers, but substitute Montella limped off after just 27 minutes with an injury to be replaced by Daniele Corvia. Amantino Mancini had two successive shots charged down, but Toldo was never really tested tonight.


Inter win the Coppa Italia, but Roma can be satisfied, as merely playing in the Final qualifies them for next season's UEFA Cup.

LOL this shit is so sad. Coppa Italia is the less prestigious cup ever created, where all the teams use their youth team playing to loose. Inter played to win, and they're celebrating it like that. Poor Inter fans. ;D
