Inter Seals a Long-Awaited Double with a 2-0 Italian Cup Win over Lazio
Inter capitalized on two Lazio mistakes to win the Coppa Italia and secure its first league-and-cup double since 2010.
On Wednesday, Inter Milan defeated Lazio 2-0 in Rome to win the Italian Cup, securing the league and cup double for the first time since 2010.
Lazio initiated its own downfall by gifting both goals; defender Adam Marusic headed a Federico Dimarco corner into his own net in the 14th minute.
Denzel Dumfries robbed Nuno Tavares of the ball outside the area, then unselfishly rolled it for captain Lautaro Martínez to tap into an empty net from three yards out.
The Italian Cup win adds to the Serie A title Inter clinched with three rounds to spare, marking the first double since José Mourinho's treble season in 2010.
Wednesday's final served as a rematch of Saturday's Serie A fixture in the same Rome stadium, where Inter had beaten Lazio 3-0 in a dress rehearsal for the cup final.
Inter Milan wins the Coppa Italia with 2:0 against Lazio Rome and crowns a historic season. For one side, the evening at Olimpico still has a bitter consequence.
