A First Half of Missed Opportunities
The game began with both teams vying for control, but AC Milan created the better chances early on. Alex Jimenez and Alvaro Morata came close to breaking the deadlock, only to be denied by Inter’s resilient defense. Against the run of play, Inter struck first through Lautaro Martinez, who ended his goal drought with a clinical finish just before halftime.
Inter’s Dominance and Milan’s Resilience
Inter picked up where they left off in the second half, doubling their lead through Mehdi Taremi. A precise pass from Stefan de Vrij found Taremi, who slotted home his second goal of the season. At this point, the Nerazzurri seemed destined to claim their fourth consecutive Supercoppa Italiana title.
However, AC Milan had other plans. Theo Hernandez ignited the comeback with a sensational free-kick, reducing the deficit to 2-1. The goal shifted the momentum, and the Rossoneri began to press relentlessly.
Pulisic and Abraham Seal the Comeback
Christian Pulisic, the USMNT star, emerged as a key figure in Milan’s resurgence. He capitalized on a well-worked attacking move to level the score at 2-2, sending the Milan faithful into a frenzy. Just when it seemed the match was headed for penalties, Tammy Abraham delivered the decisive blow in stoppage time. The former AS Roma striker pounced on a loose ball to beat Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer, securing a historic 3-2 victory for AC Milan.
A Night to Remember
This victory marks a significant milestone for AC Milan, ending their nine-year wait for a Supercoppa Italiana title. For Sergio Conceicao, it’s a dream start to his tenure, proving his ability to inspire the team under pressure. The win also highlights the resilience and fighting spirit of the Rossoneri, who refused to give up despite being two goals down.
As the celebrations continue, AC Milan fans worldwide will cherish this unforgettable night, where their team defied the odds to lift the Supercoppa Italiana in dramatic fashion.
