Cristiano Ronaldo and Alvaro Morata were both on target for Juventus as they defeated Napoli 2-0 to win the Italian Super Cup on Wednesday night.
Ronaldo scored the opener – his 760th career goal – as Juve were heading to a 1-0 win before Morata sealed victory for the champions with a 95th-minute effort.
With 760 goals, Ronaldo becomes the highest goal scorer in the history of football, with records showing he has surpassed Josef Bican’s record 759 goals.
The clash was a repeat of last season’s Coppa Italia final, which Napoli won on penalties.
Juve dominated the game, but Napoli had a chance to equalize late on when Lorenzo Insigne stepped up to take a penalty – only to roll it wide.
With the victory, Juve have now won the Super Cup for the ninth time, and it was Andre Pirlo’s first silverware as Juve boss.
