Fontvieille, Monaco (Best E Casino) - Atletico Madrid captured the UEFA Super Cup on Friday at the Stade Louis II with second-half goals from Jose Antonio Reyes and Sergio Aguero in a 2-0 win over Inter Milan. Reyes put the Europa League champions in front in the 62nd minute before Aguero doubled the lead seven minutes from time. The Champions League winners had a chance to pull a goal back from the penalty spot in the dying minutes, but Diego Milito had his spot kick saved by goalkeeper David De Gea. Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar produced a nice save on Reyes minutes before his opening goal, which came after a failed clearance allowed him to slip past Maicon and beat Cesar at his near post with a low left-footed shot. Aguero was left with a simple tap in seven minutes from time after a cross from Simao, while Inter tried to reduce the deficit in the 89th minute after Goran Pandev was tripped inside the penalty by Raul Garcia. However, Milito's shot was saved by De Gea as the keeper dove to his right to palm the ball away.
