On Friday, AC Milan staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Juventus 2-1 and secure a spot in the Italian Super Cup final against their city rivals, Inter Milan, in Riyadh. Sergio Conceicao marked his debut as AC Milan's coach, stepping in for Paulo Fonseca, who was recently replaced. The match took an unexpected turn when Kenan Yildiz scored for Juventus in the 21st minute, taking advantage of a defensive error by Theo Hernandez to beat Milan's goalkeeper, Mike Maignan.
AC Milan were transformed after the break in the second semi-final of the four-team tournament in Saudi Arabia, which is staging the SuperCup for the third year in a row.
Christian Pulisic pulled Milan level from the penalty spot after 71 minutes before under pressure Juventus defender Federico Gatti inadvertently turned into his own goal four minutes later.
