AC Milan set up Cup final date with derby rivals Inter

Conceicao could immediately get his hands on a trophy on Monday, when the final is played, after replacing the sacked Paulo Fonseca as Milan manager.

The expected intrigue of a father-against-son battle failed to materialise on Friday, after Juventus winger Francisco Conceicao was named in the starting 11 but was withdrawn after picking up an injury in the warm-up.

Conceicao's place was taken by Kenan Yildiz and after a slow, cagey start to the game, it was the Turkish forward who broke the deadlock in the 21st minute.

A through pass from Samuel Mbangula caught the Milan defence off guard and found Yildiz who took the ball into the area before smashing his shot into the roof of the net, beating Milan keeper Mike Maignan at his near post.

The second half began with another Yildiz effort going just wide in the opening seconds, and shortly afterwards, he played a low pass across the area but Dusan Vlahovic sent his effort wide.

Milan had a massive chance to equalise from a corner kick when the ball fell to Theo Hernandez, but he somehow managed to send a shot over the bar from close range.

The game at last opened up and Nicolo Savona's foul on Hernandez gave Milan a penalty in the 71st minute which Christian Pulisic sent straight down the middle to beat Michele Di Gregorio.

Milan went ahead four minutes later, through an own goal. Yunus Musah's cross took a wicked deflection off Juve defender Federico Gatti which took the ball past Di Gregorio who had come off his line.

Deep into added time, Juventus had one last chance to send the game to penalties, but Gatti's volleyed effort from close range went just wide.

The Milan manager embraced his son after the game before celebrating with his players, and Conceicao will now aim to stop Inter from winning their fourth consecutive Super Cup trophy.
