Christian Pulisic Leads AC Milan to Stunning Comeback Victory Against Inter in Italian Super Cup Showdown!

Christian Pulisic inspires AC Milan to comeback win over Inter in Italian Super Cup final

Christian Pulisic inspires AC Milan to a remarkable comeback win over Inter in the Italian Super Cup final, achieving this feat just one week into Sergio Conceicao’s tenure as head coach.

The Rossoneri rallied from a two-goal deficit to secure a 3-2 victory against their city rivals, showcasing resilience and determination on Monday.

Rafael Leão made a significant impact after coming off the bench, contributing to all three goals scored by Theo Hernández, Christian Pulisic, and Tammy Abraham.

Conceicao stepped in to replace Paulo Fonseca just last week and had already guided his team to a comeback against Juventus in the semifinals.

Inter took the lead with goals from Lautaro Martinez and Mehdi Taremi, striking on either side of halftime to put Milan on the back foot.

Leão’s influence was pivotal as he drew a foul that led to a free kick, expertly curled in by Hernández around Inter’s defensive wall.

Pulisic then capitalized on a swift counterattack, skillfully shooting through the legs of goalkeeper Augusto, a play initiated by Leão.

The winning goal came in stoppage time when Leão provided a precise through ball to Pulisic, who crossed it to Abraham for an easy tap-in.

This match marked the fifth time in seven years that the Italian Super Cup was held in Saudi Arabia, continuing the trend of an expanded four-team format.

Inter’s opening goal was set up by a throw-in, where Taremi found Lautaro, who cut back and shot through Hernández’s legs, capitalizing on their only real chance of the first half.

Taremi, stepping in for the injured Marcus Thuram, also found the net shortly after halftime, putting the pressure back on Milan.
