Overview
- Inter, which went in front Wednesday, held a 1-0 half-time lead after a 14th-minute Adam Marušić own goal at Rome’s Stadio Olimpico.
- Official line-ups showed Marcus Thuram starting alongside Lautaro Martínez after a brief training scare, with Hakan Çalhanoğlu unavailable.
- Lazio started young goalkeeper Edoardo Motta with Ivan Provedel out, Mattia Zaccagni returned to the front line, and assistant Marco Ianni directed the team with Maurizio Sarri suspended.
- The Coppa Italia winner earns a Europa League berth, and an Inter victory would pass that place to Serie A’s sixth-placed team and push seventh into the Conference League.
- Inter entered as newly crowned Serie A champions seeking a first league-and-cup double since 2010 after beating Lazio 3-0 at the same stadium days earlier.
