Coming into play in the 24th minute after the injury to Tommasso Pobega, the young Jan-Carlo Šimić (18 years old) scored his first professional goal for his very first appearance in the first team, well placed to take over the center at land of Rafael Leão (2-0, 41st). Christian Pulisic was not far from killing the match before the break, but the crossbar put him in check with his left shot (44th). Returning from the locker room, the clumsy Giroud in front of the goal was nevertheless decisive, precise to serve the third Milanese scorer, Noah Okafor in the last quarter of an hour.
