Lautaro Martinez secured Inter's third consecutive Supercoppa Italiana title with a late goal, sealing a 1-0 win over 10-man Napoli after Giovanni Simeone was shown a red card in the 60th minute.
In the first half, Inter dominated with Federico Dimarco coming close to scoring within the first 15 minutes.
Hakan Çalhanoğlu and Henrikh Mkhitaryan also had opportunities, and Lautaro Martínez had a goal disallowed due to an offside.
Napoli struggled to pose a threat, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia being their only real danger to Inter's defense.
The second half saw Kvaratskhelia's attempt saved by Yann Sommer, but Napoli's fortunes took a turn for the worse when Giovanni Simeone received a second yellow card and was sent off in the hour mark.
Simone Inzaghi's men took control of the game, with Marcus Thuram missing a chance and later combining with Benjamin Pavard, but the breakthrough didn't come until injury time.
With the game seemingly heading for penalties, substitute Alexis Sánchez sent Benjamin Pavard down the right and the Frenchman pulled back from the by-line for Lautaro Martinez to fire in from six yards Inter's winner.
Inter clinched their third consecutive Supercoppa Italiana title, marking a historic eighth triumph in the competion's history for the club.
