In an exhilarating match held at the King Saud University Stadium, AC Milan overcame a two-goal deficit to clinch the Italian Super Cup with a thrilling 3-2 victory against their city rivals, Inter Milan. Tammy Abraham scored a dramatic goal in added time, securing Milan's remarkable comeback and denying Inter their chance at a historic fourth consecutive triumph in the tournament.
The match began with an impressive light show, but it wasn't until the end of the first half that excitement surged. Lautaro Martinez opened the scoring for Inter with a clever shot after receiving a pass from Mehdi Taremi, successfully deceiving Milan's Malick Thiaw. Just after the second half began, Inter extended their lead when Taremi controlled a long ball from Stefan de Vrij and found the bottom corner with a precise shot.
Milan eventually reacted by introducing Rafael Leao, whose presence quickly turned the tide. He won a free kick near the area, from which Theo Hernandez scored with a well-placed shot to bring Milan back into contention. The momentum shifted as Milan pushed harder for an equalizer, with Tijjani Reijnders’ shot rebuffed by an Inter defender and a strong header from Alvaro Morata met with a great save by Yann Sommer.
Inter nearly restored their two-goal lead when Carlos Augusto's header hit the post, but it was Milan who found the equalizer with just ten minutes to go. Christian Pulisic cleverly maneuvered through three defenders to score, leveling the score and setting the stage for a nail-biting finish. Milan's offense wasn't done yet, as Leao assisted Abraham for the winning goal, which sent their new manager Serge Conceicao into a joyous celebration, while the Inter players were left in shock at their unexpected defeat.
