After defeating Juventus 2-1 on Friday, AC Milan advanced to the Italian Super Cup final in Riyadh to face city rivals Inter Milan. Earlier this week, Sergio Conceicao was named AC Milan’s new coach to succeed Paulo Fonseca, and he took command of his debut match. However, after twenty-one minutes, Kenan Yildiz gave Juventus the lead as Theo Hernandez’s weak defense let the Turkish midfielder beat Mike Maignan in the goal.
In the second semi-final of the four-team competition in Saudi Arabia, which is hosting the SuperCup for the third consecutive year, AC Milan underwent a transformation following the break.
After 71 minutes, Christian Pulisic equalized for Milan from the penalty spot, and four minutes later, Juventus defender Federico Gatti unintentionally turned into his own goal while under pressure.
On Monday, AC Milan will take on three-time defending champions Inter, who crushed Atalanta 2-0 on Thursday due to a double from Dutch international Denzel Dumfries, in an attempt to win the Italian SuperCup for the eighth time and the first since 2016.
