Algeria Football– This Monday evening in Saudi Arabia, Inter Milan and AC Milan faced each other in the final of the Italian Super Cup. A meeting which kept all its promises with a spectacular outcome in favor of the Rossoneri. Despite a notable absence on the field, that of Ismaël Bennacer, dismissed by his coach Sergio Conceição, the Algerian midfielder should receive a nice reward thanks to his team’s victory.
The match, which pitted Milan’s two great rivals against each other, started in a balanced manner. Inter took the lead through Lautaro Martinez, who opened the scoring just before the break. Barely into the second half, Mehdi Taremi doubled the lead for the Nerazzurri. However, AC Milan was quick to react. Theo Hernandez quickly reduced the score with a superb free kick, restarting the match.
The second half offered a spectacle of rare intensity. Christian Pulisic equalized for Milan with a precise strike, giving the impression that the match would head to penalties. This was without counting on Rafael Leão, whose entry into play energized the Milan attack. In the final minutes, he provided an assist to Tammy Abraham, also a substitute, who sealed the victory for the Rossoneri with a score of 3-2.
For Ismaël Bennacer, who is returning from a long injury, this final took place on the bench, his coach having preferred to preserve him. Despite this sidelining, Bennacer will benefit from a share of the financial reward awarded to the winners. Indeed, AC Milan pockets 8 million dollars thanks to this success in the Italian Super Cup, a sum which will be shared between the players.
-With this first trophy under the Conceição era, AC Milan seems to have regained a winning dynamic, which bodes well for the rest of the season. As for Bennacer, his supporters hope to see him back on the pitch soon to contribute to the future success of the Rossoneri.
