Italian giants AC Milan win Super Cup on penalties in Doha

Italian giants AC Milan beat Juventus to win the Italian Super Cup on Friday in a penalty shootout, the first trophy the Rossoneri have won since 2011.

Mario Pasilic blasted home the final spot kick to give AC Milan a 4-3 victory on penalties after a hard fought 1-1 deadlock at 90 minutes and after extra time in Doha, reported Doha Stadium Plus.

Mario Mandzukic and Paulo Dybala missed their spot kicks for Juventus, with Gianluca Lapadula the only Milan player not to convert his penalty.

The victory was just about merited by Milan who responded well after early Juventus dominance.

Juve, Italian league and cup double winners last season, had taken the lead in 18th minute after Giorgio Chiellini prodded home a Miralem Pjanic corner.

At that stage it was all Juventus, but they were pegged back just before half-time when Giacomo Bonaventura beautifully glanced home a Fernandez Suso cross.

Juventus thought they had won in the 11th minute when Patrice Evra scored but he was ruled offside and Dybala missed a great chance, spooning a shot over from eight yards with just four minutes remaining.
