Buries Italian team on penalties, finally (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inters

'buries' is the definition.
(I know this)

'italian team on penalties finally' is the wordplay.
'italian team' becomes 'inter' (Inter Milan FC).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'finally' suggests the final letters.
The final letter of 'penalties' is 's'.
'inter'+'s'='INTERS'

(Other definitions for inters that I've seen before include "Buries the dead" , "Buries with insert" , "Buries a body" , "Places in a grave" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
