TEHRAN – Inter Milan forward Mehdi Taremi teed up Lautaro Martinez with a pass across the box in the first half and scored a goal in the second half against AC Milan in the Italian Super Cup.
A goal in added time from Tammy Abraham completed a stunning comeback for AC Milan who won a dramatic 3-2 victory over city rival Inter in Monday’s final in Riyadh after going two goals down early in the game.
The win denied Inter what would have been an unprecedented fourth consecutive Super Cup trophy, and allowed Milan to equal Inter’s haul of eight wins in the competition, with new manager Serge Conceicao lifting a trophy in his second game in charge.
Two minutes after the interval Stefan de Vrij played a long ball over the top which Taremi controlled beautifully and he drilled his shot into the bottom corner to double their advantage.
Milan responded by sending on Rafael Leao, who immediately won a free kick just outside the area which Hernandez curled low around the wall and the ball crept just inside the post to re-open the tie.
Christian Pulisic, surrounded by three Inter players, controlled a cross from Hernandez and steered his shot into the far corner and it looked like the tie would be decided by a shootout, with no extra time to be played.
Milan, however, continued to press and it was rewarded when Leao pulled the ball back across the goal and Abraham, another substitute, was there for the simplest of tap-ins to break Inter hearts.
Conceicao, who replaced the sacked Paulo Fonseca last week, celebrated wildly with his players, while the Inter team slumped to the floor in disbelief.
