AC Milan akhirnya keluar sebagai juara Piala Super Italia. Meladeni rival sekota Inter Milan, Rossoneri tertinggal dulu sebelum akhirnya memukul balik Nerazzurri 2-1.
Dalam pertandingan di Beijing National Stadium, Sabtu (6/8/2011), Inter lebih dulu unggul pada menit ke-22. Sebuah tendangan bebas melengkung Wesley Sneijder tak kuasa dibendung Christian Abbiati.
Milan baru bisa bangkit pada babak kedua. Mereka menyamakan kedudukan pada menit ke-58 berkat sundulan Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Kemenangan Il Diavolo Rosso akhirnya ditentukan oleh Kevin-Prince Boateng. Sontekan gelandang internasional Ghana ini membawa timnya berbalik memimpin 2-1.
Ini adalah trofi Piala Super Italia keenam untuk Milan. Sebelumnya, mereka jadi juara pada tahun 1988, 1992, 1993, 1994, dan 2004. Sementara bagi Inter, kekalahan ini adalah awal yang kurang baik untuk pelatih anyar Gian Piero Gasperini.
Jalannya pertandingan
Inter lebih dulu mengancam pada menit kelima. Umpan Samuel Eto'o diteruskan oleh Sneijder dengan sepakan yang masih belum menemui sasaran.
Semenit kemudian, Milan gantian menekan. Menerima umpan dari Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Robinho melepaskan tembakan yang masih melenceng dari gawang Julio Cesar.
Kebuntuan pecah pada menit ke-22. Tendangan bebas Sneijder melengkung melewati pagar betis dan masuk ke gawang Christian Abbiati. Milan 0, Inter 1.
Gawang Abbiati kembali terancam pada menit ke-35. Namun, sepakan Ricky Alvarez dari dalam kotak penalti masih melambung.
Milan nyaris menyamakan skor beberapa saat kemudian. Sial buat Ibrahimovic, sundulannya masih menerpa mistar. Hingga turun minum, Inter tetap unggul 1-0.
Kedudukan sama kuat pada menit ke-58 setelah Milan menyamakan kedudukan. Gol ini diawali penetrasi Clarence Seedorf di kotak penalti usai menerima umpan Robinho. Seedorf kemudian melepas umpan silang ke mulut gawang. Sambil menjatuhkan diri, Ibrahimovic menyundul bola ke gawang kosong karena Cesar sudah meninggalkan sarangnya.
Milan berbalik unggul 11 menit kemudian. Dari sebuah proses serangan balik, Pato melepaskan tembakan yang tak bisa dijangkau Cesar, tapi masih mengenai mistar. Kevin-Prince Boateng datang dan menyambar bola rebound. Milan memimpin 2-1.
Inter sempat mencetak gol pada masa injury time lewat Eto'o. Namun, wasit menganulirnya karena pemain Kamerun itu sudah terjebak offside.
Hingga laga berakhir, skor 2-1 untuk Milan tetap awet. Piala Super Italia tahun ini pun jadi milik mereka.
