A few weeks ago, Sergio Conceicao started his mandate perfectly on the AC Milan bench by overthrowing Juventus Turin in the semi-final of the Italian Super Cup (1-2). This Saturday, the remake of this transalpine classic took place in Turin where the Old Lady really wanted to take her revenge. In the first period, the debates were balanced. While the opportunities multiplied on both sides of the field, neither team was able to gain the upper hand during a fairly lively first act.
It was finally upon returning from the locker room that Juve gained the upper hand over the Rossoneri. Stirring since the start of the match, Samuel Mbangula opened the scoring with a blocked shot which hit the bar before deceiving Mike Maignan (1-0, 59th). A few minutes later, Timothy Weah, well launched by Thuram, doubled the lead with a nice cross shot which left Maignan no chance (2-0, 64th). Solid defensively, Thiago Motta's men held on despite Milan's opportunities (79th, 89th) and the score did not change. With this important success, Juventus temporarily climbs to 4th place. First defeat for AC Milan under the Conceicao era and the Lombards stagnate in 8th place.
