January 06, (THEWILL) – AC Milan clinched their 8th Italian Super Cup trophy following a remarkable 3-2 victory against Inter Milan at the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh. The triumph arrived through Tammy Abraham’s decisive strike in additional time, completing an extraordinary comeback.
The match began with Inter Milan demonstrating their authority, as Lautaro Martinez found the net moments before the half-time whistle. Their dominance continued into the second period when Mehdi Taremi extended their advantage to 2-0 just two minutes after the restart.
Milan’s resurgence commenced when Theo Hernandez executed a perfect free-kick, reducing the deficit to 2-1. The momentum shifted significantly in Milan’s favour, and Christian Pulisic brought the scores level with only 10 minutes remaining in regular time.
Just as the contest appeared destined for penalties, Abraham emerged as the hero in added time. His clinical finish not only sealed victory for Milan but also prevented Inter from achieving what would have been a fourth consecutive Super Cup success.
The result holds particular significance for AC Milan, who have now matched Inter’s record of eight Super Cup victories. This achievement marks a crucial moment in the ongoing rivalry between these distinguished Milan clubs, adding another memorable chapter to their storied competition.
