Supercoppa Italiana: Extra time or straight to penalties with a draw?

There is no extra time in the Supercoppa Italiana, so games ending in a draw after 90 minutes will go straight to a penalty shoot-out.

The Supercoppa Italiana kicks off today at the Al-Awwal Park Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. All the games will be staged at the same venue.

The first semi-final is between 2024-25 Serie A champions Napoli and Coppa Italia runners-up Milan.

On Friday, the latest Coppa Italia winners, Bologna, will meet 2024-25 Serie A runners-up Inter.

The Final will be played on Monday, December 22.

As it happens in Coppa Italia matches, there is no extra time in the Supercoppa Italiana, so if two teams are level after 90 minutes, they go straight to a penalty shoot-out.
