Match Overview
The match began with an early goal from Harry Maguire, who headed in a corner from Bruno Fernandes just two minutes into the game. However, AC Milan responded in the 37th minute when Samuel Chukwueze found the net after a clever pass from Goncalo Ramos, leveling the score. United regained the lead shortly after halftime, with Patrick Dorgu capitalizing on a defensive error to score from close range.
