Sergio Conceição started Christian Pulisic and João Felix while Raphael Leão was suspended, leaving Super Eagles forward Samuel Chukwueze on the bench.

AC Milan started the game well but failed to take their chances in the first half and were punished by the visitors after Riccardo Orsolini scored the opening goal, entering the second half.

However, upon the introduction of Chukwueze, AC Milan became potent in attack, with Santiago Gimenez equalising before Pulisic gave the hosts the lead.

In injury time, Gimenez sealed the win with the third goal, with Chukwueze providing the assist to crown his effort.
