Primavera: Inter win Scudetto!

Balotelli scores from penalty spot on 89 minutes to give Nerazzurri 1-0 victory over Sampdoria

BRESSANONE - Siamo noi, siamo noi, i campioni d'Italia siamo noi. Inter Primavera emulated the first team with a 1-0 win over Sampdoria in the final of the Campionato Primavera - Trofeo Giacinto Facchetti to lift the Under-19 Scudetto for the sixth time.

Sixteen-year-old striker 'Super Mario' Balotelli settled an evenly-balanced clash at the Stadio Comunale in Bressaneon, hitting the winning goal from the penalty spot in the 89th minute after being fouled in the box by Samp defender Rossini.
