January 02, (THEWILL) – Inter Milan advanced to the Italian Super Cup final following a 2-0 triumph against Atalanta, with Denzel Dumfries delivering two decisive goals in the second half at the Riyadh venue.

The first half demonstrated Atalanta goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi’s exceptional performance between the posts, maintaining parity until the 49th minute when Dumfries broke the deadlock with remarkable skill.

The Dutch international displayed excellent control following Yann Bisseck’s header from a corner kick, executing a precise turning shot that found its way into the net to put Inter in front.

Dumfries extended Inter’s advantage in the 61st minute with an impressive strike from the periphery of the penalty area, his shot ricocheting off the crossbar before crossing the goal line to double their lead.

Simone Inzaghi’s squad, helped by Yann Sommers’ goalkeeping, maintained their defensive organisation throughout the remainder of the match, preventing any meaningful opportunities for their opponents and confirming their position in the final of this prestigious competition.

They will compete for their fourth consecutive trophy in this competition when they meet the winner of Friday’s encounter between Juventus and AC Milan in the tournament’s other semi-final match.
