Italian Super Cup: Lazio Beat Juventus To Lift Trophy In Saudi Arabia

Juventus have been denied their first silverware of the season by Lazio in a 3-1 loss in the final match of the Italian Super Cup held in Saudi Arabia. 

Lazio claimed the worthy victory with a superb finish from a free-kick by Danilo Cataldi late in the injury time. with less than two minutes remaining, they are in a comfortable lead whilst it is certain Juventus were definitely going to lose. 

Senad Lulic had restored the champions' lead, after Paulo Dybala's equalizer of Luis Alberto's opening goal, by volleying home Manuel Lazzari's cross that was deflected to him and left unmarked in the far left of the box by Marco Parolo.  

It was obvious that Cristiano Ronaldo was frustrated with Juventus' performance by his facial expression when Lulic smacked in the second goal. Nevertheless, it was Juve's second defeat to Lazio this season under Maurizio Sarri. 

Juventus' league title streak is facing a strong challenge from Inter Milan. Though both teams tied with 42 points but are second behind Inter in the Italian Serie A table.
