Denzel Dumfries became Inter Milan’s hero with a dazzling second-half brace, securing a 2-0 victory over Atalanta in Riyadh and booking their spot in the Italian Super Cup final! The Nerazzurri will now face either Juventus or AC Milan for the trophy, aiming to clinch it for the fourth consecutive year.
The first half was a battle of keepers: Atalanta’s Marco Carnesecchi stole the show with jaw-dropping saves, including a double stop against Lautaro Martinez and Federico Dimarco. But Inter turned up the heat after halftime—Dumfries broke the deadlock with a cheeky overhead kick from close range!
Atalanta subbed in big guns Ademola Lookman and Charles De Ketelaere, but Inter’s Dutch star struck again on the counter, blasting a rocket into the top corner off the crossbar. Defender Alessandro Bastoni praised Dumfries post-match: \"Individual talent must shine… today Denzel did just this.\"
Despite Martinez missing a late sitter, Inter’s defense held firm. Will they make history this weekend? All eyes are on the final!
