Lazio Win Italian Super Lukaku's brother Shine

Lazio defeated Juventus for the first time in four years with a 3-2 triumph in the Italian Super Cup on Sunday with victory secured by an injury-time goal from substitute Alessandro Murgia
.Ciro Immobile had given Lazio a 2-0 lead with a 31st-minute penalty and 52nd-minute header before Juventus forward Paulo Dybala pulled the Serie A champions and Italian Cup winners level thanks to a free-kick after 85 minutes and a last-minute penalty.

But Lazio had the last laugh when Murgia turned in a cross from fellow substitute Jordan Lukaku, the brother of Manchester United star Romelu, in the third minute of stoppage time. Only a miraculous save from Buffon denied Immobile his hat-trick, as Lazio embarrassed the Juventus defence, while at the other end of the pitch, Miralem Pjanic's free-kick flew over the bar.

Substitute Douglas Costa fired a shot right at Strakosha, and Higuain almost turned his cross home minutes later. Pjanic was lucky not to get sent off after a foolish trip on Immobile, but the official opted for a yellow card.

Buffon kept his team in the match with a good save from Luis Alberto, and Dybala gave the Bianconeri some hope with a stunning free-kick with five minutes left to play. In the 91st minute, Adam Marusic brought down Sandro in the box, and the official awarded a penalty
