The final of the Italian Supercup was incredible in its drama, featuring «Inter» and «Milan». The first half of the confrontation ended in favor of Inzaghi's team: Martínez scored with a precise shot. The beginning of the second half was also in favor of the nominal hosts, who doubled their lead thanks to Taremi's goal.
It seemed that the fate of the match was already decided, but Rafael Leao changed the game, coming on as a substitute in the 50th minute. It was the active actions of the Portuguese midfielder in attack that allowed «Milan» not only to level the score but also to score the winning goal in added time: Abraham only needed to redirect the ball into the empty net from a meter after Leao's pass.
3:2! A crazy victory for Sérgio Conceição's team; for him, this match was only his second at the helm of «Milan»!
