Inter advanced to the final of the Italian Super Cup after beating Atalanta

With a brace from Denzel Dumfries, who scored two fantastic goals, Inter secured victory against Atalanta, advancing to the final where they await the winner of Juventus vs. AC Milan.
Inter Milan became the first finalist of the Italian Super Cup. Demonstrating clear football superiority in the semifinals, they defeated Atalanta—a victory that also carried symbolic weight in relation to Serie A, as the two teams are vying for the top spot. Atalanta currently leads with 41 points, while Inter sits in third with 40.
The match took place at Al-Awwal Park in Saudi Arabia. Inter started strong, applying constant pressure and creating dangerous opportunities, pinning Atalanta in their half. Meanwhile, Atalanta’s defense, supported by key saves from their goalkeeper and a few counterattacks, managed to keep the game scoreless until halftime.

Dumfries Shines in the Second Half

Just four minutes into the second half, the breakthrough came. Following a corner kick, the ball remained active in Atalanta’s penalty area after a header from Yann Aurel Bisseck. Denzel Dumfries controlled the ball with his head and executed a spectacular combination of a scissor kick and bicycle kick, sending the ball past the helpless goalkeeper for the opening goal.

There, he unleashed a first-time shot that took a slight deflection off a defender attempting to block the effort. The powerful strike hit the crossbar and bounced into the net, sealing his brace in style.
