Conceicao salutes 'brave' Milan after Supercoppa fightback

Sergio Conceicao praised his "brave" AC Milan players after they fought back to beat Juventus 2-1 in his first game as coach, securing a Supercoppa Italiana final spot against Inter.

Juventus led 1-0 through Kenan Yildiz's first-half goal, but Milan equalized with a Christian Pulisic penalty and then benefited from Federico Gatti's own goal to claim victory. Conceicao acknowledged a flat first-half performance but was pleased with the team's improved second half, which earned them the final.

Despite the fortunate own goal, he emphasized the importance of Milan's determination. Milan now faces Inter, who defeated Atalanta 2-0 in the other semi, with Conceicao noting Milan’s shorter recovery time as a challenge for the final.
