Last-gasp Abraham goal wins Super Cup for Milan in 3-2 victory over Inter

YEREVAN, JANUARY 7, ARMENPRESS. A goal in added time from Tammy Abraham completed a stunning comeback for AC Milan who won the Italian Super Cup with a dramatic 3-2 victory over city rivals Inter Milan in Monday's final in Riyadh after going two goals down early in the game, Reuters reports.

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, with new manager Serge Conceicao lifting a trophy in his second game in charge.

The first half saw both teams trying to score the opening goal as AC Milan had more chances with both Alex Jimenez and Alvaro Morata, but it was Inter that scored the first goal of the night in Riyhad with Lautaro Martinez, who finally came back to score his second goal in ten games in all competitions, a few moments before the end of the first half, CBS Sports reported.

Inter dominated the restart of the game and immediately found their second goal with a nice ball from defender Stefan de Vrij for Mehdi Taremi, who scored his second goal of the season after the penalty in his Champions League home debut against Crvena Zvezda, CBS Sports reported.

AC Milan's defender Theo Hernandez scored the first goal of the game for the Rossoneri directly from free kick and the game took a different path, with both teams going really close to score multiple goals until USMNT star Christian Pulisic was able to convert a nice play started on the left attacking side and scored the equalizer. It looked like everything was set for the penalties, but Tammy Abraham's touch in front of Inter's goalkeeper Yann Sommer led to AC Milan winning their first Supercoppa in nine years, CBS Sports reported.
