Amid background of protests and political outrage at the game being held in Saudi Arabia, Lazio beat Juventus 3-1 on Sunday to win the Italian Super Cup for a fifth time.
We gathered that Senad Lulic scored in the 73rd minute for Lazio after Juve’s Paulo Dybala had canceled out Luis Alberto’s opener at Riyadh’s King Saudi University Stadium.
Danilo Cataldi further sealed the result in stoppage time with a free kick. That was conceded by Juventus midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur, who was shown a second yellow card and sent off.
The capital side had also won 3-1 when the two clubs met in Serie A two weeks ago in what was Maurizio Sarri’s only previous defeat as Juventus coach.
