Inter Milan Retains Coppa Italia Title Thanks to Lautaro Martinez's Brace

Striker Lautaro Martinez scored twice to lead Inter Milan from a goal down to a 2-1 victory over Fiorentina, securing their second consecutive Coppa Italia title at the Olympic Stadium on Wednesday. Fiorentina took the lead just three minutes into the match when Jonathan Ikone delivered a cross that Nico Gonzalez, unmarked, converted into the net. Argentine Lautaro Martinez equalized with a shot from a tight angle in the 29th minute and followed it up with a close-range shot eight minutes later. Fiorentina failed to threaten Inter's goal in an attempt to equalize, and Inter comfortably maintained their lead to clinch their ninth Coppa Italia title ahead of the Champions League final next month against Manchester City.
