Supercoppa, Inter defeated in final | OneFootball

This time, things didn’t go our way in the final in Riyadh. We won’t be returning with the Supercoppa trophy, with our winning streak in the competition having come to an end. Indeed, it was AC Milan who emerged victorious, coming from behind to do so. Of course, it’s enormously disappointing, especially as Inzaghi’s men took a two-goal lead shortly into the second half. However, the Nerazzurri weren’t able to manage their advantage, instead being pegged back and, in stoppage time, conceding a third with penalties just moments away.

Lautaro and Taremi got on the scoresheet for Inter, who were lethal and focused up until the point they went 2-0 up. But then Hernandez immediately scored from a free-kick for Conceiçao’s men, giving them a real lift. There were chances at both ends in a breathless second half, during which Sommer was called into action several times and the Nerazzurri had no shortage of chances to add a third. Notably, Carlos hit the post, with the ball bouncing agonisingly on the line but not over it. Then came an 80th-minute equaliser from Pulisic, before Leao set up Abraham for the winner with 93 minutes on the clock.
