Last night was the opening fixture in the Italian season, which meant the Super Cup (Italian equivilent of Community Sheild). The team that Jose Mourinho put out that made it 1 game, 1 trophy for him was: Julio Cesar, Maicon, Burdisso, Cambiasso, Maxwell, Zanetti, Stankovic, Muntari, Figo, Ibrahimovic, Mancini. Although, Rivas, Jimenez and Balotelli were all brought on during the course of the match.

Not long into the match; debutan Sulley Muntari hit home from close range to seel the first competritive goal of the Mourinho era. Three more goals came in the second half, as Roma equilised, Balotelli put Inter ahead again, and Roma made it 2-2. The game went into extra time and penalties. And neither team would give in, resulting in the penalties finishing 6-5 to the Nezzuri.
“Vucinic’s goal never should have gone in, we should have won 2-1 in regulation and everybody could have gone home a lot earlier,” said Mourinho.
