Video – On this day, Juventus lift Intercontinental Cup thanks to Del Piero’s winner

On this day in 1996, Juventus and River Plate clashed heads in Tokyo with the Intercontinental Cup on the line.

The now-defunct competition pitted the UEFA Champions League winner against the South American club that lifted the Copa Libertadores.

The star-studded Bianconeri team dominated the action from start to finish, but had to wait until the 81st minute to find the breakthrough.

Alessandro Del Piero controlled a loose ball inside the penalty box, sending an unstoppable shot towards the far post.
