Inter 0-1 Juventus

15 minutes

Inter have yet to really get going and look to be a little rattled by Juventus' quick start. They force a corner, though, which comes out to Barella, who sends a volley wide.

Penalty for Inter! De Ligt, in an attempt to head away a cross, has his arms raised and clearly handballs. The referee points to the spot...

GOAL! Inter 1-1 Juventus (Martinez)

18 minutes

Martinez converts from the spot! He drills his penalty low past Szczesny and Inter are level. That could prove a costly error from De Ligt.
