Inter beats Roma on penalties to seal Super Cup

MILAN: Inter Milan beat AS Roma 6-5 on penalties to win the Italian Super Cup on Sunday following a 2-2 draw in Jose Mourinho's first competitive game in charge of the Italian champions.

Sulley Muntari, a new signing from Portsmouth, gave Inter the lead after 18 minutes of his official debut after Maicon's cross had been deflected on to the bar by Roma defender Philippe Mexes.

Last season's Cup winner Roma, playing its first game since the death of club president Franco Sensi last Sunday, leveled on 59 minutes at the San Siro when Daniele De Rossi lashed a stunning drive into the top corner from 30m.
