Juventus thrashes Lazio to lift Supercup
Print Edition
Juventus won the Italian Supercup for a sixth time on Sunday after humiliating Lazio 4-0 with Carlos Tevez scoring in his first official match with the Italian champions.
Juventus substitute Paul Pogba scored in the 23rd minute, less than three minutes after coming on for the injured Claudio Marchisio.
Giorgio Chiellini and Stephan Lichtsteiner extended Juventus’ advantage early in the second half before Tevez’s 56th-minute strike.
Juventus and AC Milan have both won the season’s traditional curtain-raiser between the league champion and the Italian Cup winner six times.
The ease with which Juventus tore Lazio apart in its own stadium will be a warning sign to the rest of Serie A.
Antonio Conte’s team is already firm favorite to win the league a third straight year.
“I knew that we would face the match with the right attitude, and I am happy to have brought home for the second consecutive year the double of the title and the Supercup,” Conte said. “It was a deserved victory.”
The hefty defeat will have come as a shock for Lazio and its fans, still celebrating after beating bitter city rival Roma to lift the Italian Cup in May.
“We collapsed after the second goal and we were a bit naive, while Juve was clinical,” Lazio coach Vladimir Petkovic said. “But until the second goal, they didn’t create much. They deserved it.”
