At 2:45 a.m. Beijing time on September 23rd, the 5th round of the 2024-25 Serie A season saw a highly anticipated Milan derby, with Inter Milan hosting city rival AC Milan. In this game, both players showed a very high level of competition, providing fans with a wonderful duel. In the end, AC Milan beat Inter Milan by 2-1 with Pulisic's first goal and Gabbia's stunning header, ending the embarrassing record of six consecutive defeats in the derby.
After the match started, both teams quickly got into the state and started a fierce competition. In the 10th minute, Pulisic showed his outstanding individual ability. After making a break in the midfield, he broke into the penalty area to face Inter Milan's goalkeeper Sommer and scored with a low shot, giving AC Milan a 1-0 lead. This goal made AC Milan's fans excited and laid the confidence for the team's next game.
However, Inter Milan was not discouraged. They launched a counterattack shortly after the start of the second half. In the 27th minute, Di Marco received a long pass from a teammate, and he quickly passed the ball to Lautaro. Lautaro received the ball at the top of the arc and slotted it to DiMarco. Di Marco notched a low shot to equalize the score at 1-1, a goal that gave Inter's fans hope for an equalizer.
After that, both teams stepped up their offense, but were never able to score again. The match entered a white-hot stage, and both players fought for the victory with all their might. Finally, in the last moment of the game, AC Milan got the chance to kill the game. In the 89th minute, AC Milan got a free kick in front of the field, Reinders took the penalty and sent the ball into the penalty area. Gabbia jumped up high in the penalty area and scored a header, giving AC Milan a 2-1 lead. This goal also became the killer goal of the match.
The match ended with AC Milan defeating Inter Milan by a score of 2-1. The win was significant for AC Milan, as it not only ended their embarrassing six-game losing streak in the Derby, but also boosted the team's morale and confidence. Inter Milan, on the other hand, regrettably suffered two rounds of the league without a win, they need to adjust their condition as soon as possible to meet the next game. I believe that both teams will continue to work hard and bring more exciting games to the fans in the coming matches.
