Inter Milan vs Juventus Coppa Italia results: Cristiano Ronaldo's son erupts in joy after equaliser 

Lautaro Martinez bagged an early lead in the ninth minute for Antonio Conte. The Argentina international beat Matthijs de Ligt to clinch on a sensational cross from Nicolo Barella to strike the ball past Gianluigi Buffon. But the lead for the hosts could not last long with the presence of Ronaldo on the field. 

Former Manchester United defender Ashley Young's silly foul on Juan Cuadrado while defending a cross resulted in a penalty for the Turin-based outfit. And Ronaldo made no mistake from the spot. A video of his son celebrating the equaliser, as posted by Cristiano's partner Georgina Rodriguez has gone viral. 

As seen in the video, the moment the five-time Ballon d'Or winner struck the ball past the goal line, his son erupted in joy and ran around the place, which appears to be their house. He appeared to mimic his father's iconic 'Siiiiiiii' celebration around the same time he did it on the field.
