Lazio Shock Juventus, Cristiano Ronaldo to Win Italian Super Cup

Lazio clinched the Italian Super Cup on Sunday, shocking Juventus 3-1 at the King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Luis Alberto gave Lazio a deserved lead after they started the quicker of the two sides. Juventus were able to get a crucial foothold in the contest in first-half stoppage time though, with Paulo Dybala on hand to prod home from close range.

In a scrappy second period, Lazio eventually got back in front thanks to a fantastic goal from Senad Lulic, who hammered home a volley in the 72nd minute.

A forgetful day for Juventus was compounded in injury time, when midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur was given his marching orders for a second yellow card.
