Update About Yesterday’s Match: Real Madrid vs AC Milan
Madrid, a well-known Spanish team, came back from a 2-0 deficit to win the friendly game 3-2. After 25 minutes, Milan took the lead when English defender Fikayo Tomori headed home Christian Pulisic’s perfectly put corner to make it 1-0. Luka Romero’s magnificent long-range goal that struck the top corner of the net increased the Serie A team’s advantage to 2-0 just before halftime.
However, Milan custodian Marco Sportiello made a catastrophic error in the 57th minute by failing to make what should have been a simple save on Federico Valverde’s long-range shot, giving Madrid a chance to draw the game. Taking advantage of the chance, Valverde equalized the score for Madrid two minutes later with a skillfully struck shot. Brazilian star Vinicius Jr. completed the comeback for Madrid with an 84th-minute winning goal.
