RIYADH: In a thrilling showdown in Riyadh, AC Milan clinched the Italian Super Cup with a dramatic 3-2 victory over fierce city rivals Inter Milan, coming back from a two-goal deficit early in the game thanks to Tammy Abraham’s last-gasp winner in added time.
Inter had taken the lead through Lautaro Martinez at the end of the first half and Mehdi Taremi doubled their advantage two minutes after the break.
Milan pulled one back five minutes later with Theo Hernandez scoring directly from a free kick and Christian Pulisic equalised 10 minutes from time. The game looked set for a penalty shootout until Abraham stunned Inter by netting the late winner.
The win denied Inter what would have been an unprecedented fourth consecutive Super Cup trophy, and allowed Milan to equal Inter's haul of eight wins in the competition.
