Inter beat Juve to Primavera Coppa

By Football Italia staff

Inter have beaten Juventus 3-1 on aggregate amid tension to lift the Coppa Italia Primavera youth trophy after 10 years.

The Nerazzurri had already won the first leg 1-0 at the Juventus Stadium in Turin.

The Bianconeri equalised on aggregate at San Siro this evening with a strike from Grigoris Kastanos in the first half.

Rey Manaj certainly made an impact for Inter, scoring for 1-1 on the night and then getting himself sent off for a second bookable offence after diving in the box.

However, 10-man Inter still added to their tally with Loris Zonta in stoppages.

It is the first time they have won the Coppa Italia Primavera in a decade, but it’s not Inter-Juventus without controversy, even at this level, and ended in a brawl.

“I was angry with the linesman because it seemed that the throw-in on the goal was ours and so was the corner in stoppages,” Inter Coach Stefano Vecchi told Sportitalia.

“Then Fabio Grosso and Andrea Favilli attacked me, but I was leaving. Evidently the ‘Juve style’ only exists when they win.”

Juventus Primavera Coach Grosso replied to the television station.

“We paid a heavy price for two distractions. I thanked the lads, regardless of the final result, as we are still having a good season.

“Inter are a strong side, I compliment them on the victory, even if they showed little sign on the field of deserving it.”
