Today, January 6, the Italian Super Cup final takes place, featuring arch-rivals Inter and AC Milan. The Milan derby is being played at the neutral venue of "Al-Awwal Park" in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The first half provided the crowd with a single goal, as the teams went into halftime with Inter leading 1-0 thanks to Lautaro Martínez's strike.
However, Inter faced an early setback in the first half. Veteran midfielder Hakan Çalhanoğlu was forced to leave the field due to an apparent injury.
The Turkish playmaker seemed to be experiencing muscular discomfort, leading to his substitution by Kristjan Asllani.
In the semifinals of the "Final Four" tournament, Inter defeated Atalanta 2–0, while Milan secured a 2-1 victory over Juventus. All matches in this year’s Super Cup are being held in Saudi Arabia.
