Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 23 - Inter claimed the Italian Super Cup for the third consecutive season on Monday when they beat Napoli 1-0 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, thanks to Argentina forward Lautaro Martinez's stoppage-time goal.
    Serie A champions Napoli had to play most of the second half in 10 men after forward Giovanni Simeone was sent off for a second yellow card.
    It is the eighth time in total that Inter have won the Super Cup, traditionally a match between the Italian Cup winners and the Serie A champions, although this season a four-team format was introduced featuring the runners-up of both competitions too.
    Inter boss Simone Inzaghi, meanwhile, clinched a record fifth Italian Super Cup as coach after also winning the trophy twice when he was in charge of Lazio. (ANSA).
