Abraham Winner's Late Goal Seals Milan's Italian SuperCup Victory Against Inter

Tammy Abraham scored a crucial late goal to secure a stunning comeback victory for AC Milan against reigning champions Inter Milan in the Italian Super Cup final held in Riyadh on Monday. Inter had taken a commanding lead with goals from Lautaro Martinez and Mehdi Taremi, putting them on course for a fourth consecutive title in the tournament. However, Milan once again demonstrated their resilience, mirroring their impressive come-from-behind win against Juventus in the semi-finals. The thrilling 3-2 victory saw Milan lift the coveted trophy, with Abraham's late winner sealing the dramatic victory.

To add to the Inter's woes the reigning Serie A champions lost Hakan Calhanoglu to a muscular injury just after half an hour with Kristjan Asllani coming on in place of the Turkish midfielder.

Theo Hernandez revived AC Milan hopes with a free kick after 52 minutes as they chased a first trophy under new coach Sergio Conceicao.

US winger Christian Pulisic grabbed the equaliser with 10 minutes to go with English forward Abraham sealing the winner after 93 minutes to give his side the trophy for the eighth time and first since 2016.

Three-time defending champions Inter had dominated Atalanta 2-0 on Thursday in the Super Cup semis staged in Saudi Arabia for the third year in a row.
