Reynders had another opportunity in the 15th minute, threading a pass between two Inter defenders to find himself in a one-on-one situation.

Inter broke the deadlock in the 45+1 minute when a ball was played from the left towards Taremi, who passed it to Lautaro Martรญnez. Lautaro dribbled past Milan’s defence and struck a low shot that deceived Maignan, sending Inter into the lead as the first half came to a close.
Just two minutes into the second half, Inter doubled their lead with a second goal from Mehdi Taremi. He capitalized on a long pass from De Vrij, found himself alone in front of Milan’s goal, and slotted a low shot past Maignan into the net.
Milan’s coach, Sergio Conceiรงรฃo, made his first substitution, bringing on Rafael Leรฃo for his first appearance in 16 days after recovering from injury. Leรฃo replaced Jimenez as Milan looked to reduce the deficit.
Milan quickly responded in the 52nd minute, with Theo Hernรกndez scoring from a direct free kick just outside the penalty area.
The best chance of the half came in the 62nd minute, when Leรฃo made a superb pass down the left wing, setting up Reinders. As goalkeeper Sommer rushed out, Reinders shot, but Bastoni made a crucial header to clear the ball off the line, sending it for a corner.
Milan continued to press for an equalizer, and Morata had a header saved brilliantly by Sommer to keep Inter ahead.
Inter had a chance to extend their lead when Taremi failed to convert a rebound from Dumfries’ cross, and Lautaro Martรญnez, “El Toro,” wasted another opportunity with a weak shot that Maignan easily caught. In the 72nd minute, a dangerous header from Augusto off a cross hit the post and bounced back into the goalkeeper’s hands.

Inter nearly regained the lead when Dumfries had a great follow-up shot from a corner kick, but it went over the crossbar. Moments later, Dumfries squandered another chance in a one-on-one situation after Fratzi missed the first ball. Dumfries’ second shot was brilliantly saved by Maignan.
Milan delivered the final blow in the 90+3 minute. Leรฃo, showing brilliance again, received a pass from Ninoy and, as goalkeeper Sommer rushed out, passed it to Tammy Abraham, who was unmarked in front of an empty goal. Abraham calmly slotted the ball into the net, clinching the Super Cup title for Milan in Riyadh and giving coach Sergio Conceiรงรฃo his first major achievement just days after his appointment.
