Italy SuperCup: Ronaldo fires Juve to Supercoppa magnificence with 760th objective

Andrea Pirlo asserted his first bit of flatware as Juventus mentor on Wednesday night as they beat Napoli 2-0 in Reggio Emilia to win the Supercoppa Italiana. 

Cristiano Ronaldo and Alvaro Morata got La Vecchia Signora’s two objectives on the evening, with the Spaniard murdering the game off with the last kick of the evening, putting the final details on a quick counterattack and the actual night. 

Wojciech Szczesny made a superb save to deny Hirving Lozano in the principal half to keep the scores level at 0-0, however it wouldn’t be the last time the Mexican would be disappointed by the Juventus goalkeeper. 

Cristiano Ronaldo scored what resembled it would have been the game’s just objective not long after the hour mark, diverting in from short proximity after a corner fell before David Ospina’s objective. 

Lorenzo Insigne at that point had a magnificent opportunity to draw Napoli level after Weston McKennie cut down Dries Mertens to surrender a punishment. From 12 yards and expecting his 100th Napoli objective, Insigne stammered and hauled his shot wide, in spite of Szczesny having gone the incorrect way. 

Napoli pushed forward late on, Szczesny again did well to deny Lozano and, in the last moment, Juventus parted from a Napoli corner. Juan Cuadrado overwhelmed objective and squared for Morata to complete into an open objective, bringing the full-time whistle.
