Roma wins Italian Cup with 2-1 victory over Inter

ROME (AP) - AS Roma beat Inter Milan 2-1 in the Italian Cup final Saturday in partial compensation for losing out in the Serie A title race.
Roma defender Philippe Mexes cut in front of three Inter players to score with a low shot in the 36th minute. It was the Frenchman's second goal of the season with the other coming during league play.

Simone Perrotta made it 2-0 in the 54th by tapping in a pass from Mirko Vucinic.

Inter and Roma had faced off in the previous three finals, with Roma winning last year and Inter claiming the previous two matches.

Vitor Hugo Gomes Passos, who came on as a replacement at the beginning of the second half, scored for Inter in the 60th with a strong shot from well outside the area that surprised Roma goalkeeper Alexander Doni.

Gomes Passos scored a similar goal in the Italian Cup semifinals to help Inter through to the final.

Inter won the Italian league in the last game of the season with Roma coming second.
