However, the match began poorly for Milan when Juventus’ Kenan Yildiz capitalized on a defensive lapse by Theo Hernandez to score in the 21st minute, giving the Bianconeri an early lead.

Milan returned with renewed vigor in the second half of the four-team tournament, hosted in Saudi Arabia for the third consecutive year.

Christian Pulisic levelled the score with a calm penalty in the 71st minute. Just four minutes later, under-pressure Juventus defender Federico Gatti accidentally deflected the ball into his own net, handing Milan the decisive goal.
