Denzel Dumfries delivered a standout performance, scoring both goals as Inter Milan secured a 2-0 victory over Atalanta in Riyadh, ensuring their progression to the Italian Super Cup final.
In Thursday’s match, Dumfries kicked off the scoring just four minutes into the second half with a spectacular close-range finish. He then netted his second goal at the hour mark, unleashing a fierce shot from the edge of the box.
This victory books Inter Milan’s spot in the final on January 6, where they will face either Juventus or AC Milan. Dumfries, a Netherlands international, played a pivotal role for the reigning Serie A champions against the current league leaders.
In related developments, Juventus, last season’s Italian Cup winners, are set to play Milan in the second semi-final of this four-team tournament. The event continues to be hosted in Saudi Arabia for the third consecutive year. Sergio Conceicao is poised to lead Milan as the new coach in his first game following his recent appointment to succeed Paulo Fonseca.
