- However, AC Milan remained strong from their end to deny the Camp Nou team an early lead in this match.
- On the other hand, AC Milan themselves could not score a single goal as the first half ended with the scoreboard being 0-0.
It’s goalless at the break but Barça went really close to finding the opener. There’s work to be done for the boys ?⚫️

- But despite coming so close, neither they nor AC Milan scored a single goal, as the match entered the 2nd halve’s injury time.
- A penalty shoot out looked quite imminent, when out of nowhere, Andre Silva found the back of the net to make it 1-0 and win the match for his team.
What a finish to the match between @acmilan and @FCBarcelona. André Silva’s goal was enough for the @SerieA_TIM side to pick up all three points. Here are the second half highlights.

FT: AC Milan 1-0 Barcelona. Despite Malcom hitting the post in the first half and lots of chances, a last second goal by Milan gives them the win in the final match of the US tour. Overall a strong and dominant performance. Força Barça! ? #TheMagiciansOfTheBall #ICC2018 pic.twitter.com/6pEK12ssQI
