AC Milan came from behind to defeat Juventus 2-1 in Sergio Conceicao's debut as head coach, securing a Supercoppa Italiana final spot against Inter.
Juventus took the lead in the 21st minute through Kenan Yildiz, who was unexpectedly starting due to an injury to Francisco Conceicao. Milan equalized in the 71st minute after Manuel Locatelli fouled Christian Pulisic, allowing the forward to score from the penalty spot.
Four minutes later, Milan completed the turnaround when Federico Gatti inadvertently deflected a cross from Yunus Musah into his own net. Juventus, unbeaten in Serie A this season, couldn't respond. Milan's victory, despite limited chances, sets them up for a clash with Inter, while the match marked a memorable night for Conceicao and Yildiz, who became the second-youngest Supercoppa scorer.
