At the end of a fast-paced first period where the two teams went blow for blow, the situation settled before the break. Very prominent in this part, Théo Hernandez allowed the Rossoneri to take the lead (0-1, 44th) before Christian Pulisic completed a sumptuous work from Noah Okafor after returning from the locker room (0-2, 50th). If the Dutchman Tijjani Noslin reignited the suspense shortly after the hour mark (1-2, 65th), Samuel Chukwueze came to dampen the opposing hopes in the last ten minutes (1-3, 81st), allowing the Lombard club to securing valuable success in the race for second place.
