BEIJING — In a match that looked and felt like a real Milan derby, AC Milan prevailed over Inter Milan 2-1 to win the 2011 Italian Super Cup in Beijing.
Milan had to thank a fantastic second half performance by the Rossoneri and an astute substitution by Max Allegri. Inter went in front in the first half, but Milan was the superior side in the second 45 minutes and deserved the win.
The opening goal was scored by Wesley Sneijder. Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored the equalizer in the 60th minute and Kevin-Prince Boateng followed picked up a rebound to score the eventual winner. This is the sixth time in Milan's history that it has lifted the Italian Super Cup.
