In the 12th minute of the match that took place in the early morning of November 6 (Vietnam time), AC Milan unexpectedly took the lead. Malick Thiaw jumped high to receive a corner kick from his teammate and headed the ball into the top corner of the goal, leaving Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin unable to block it.
Not long after, Real Madrid had a chance to equalize. In the 23rd minute, Emerson Royal fouled Vinicius Junior in the penalty area, creating an opportunity for the home team to be awarded a penalty. Vinicius successfully converted the penalty kick to bring the match back to the starting line.
However, Real Madrid's joy did not last long. Just 16 minutes later, AC Milan regained the advantage. Alvaro Morata took advantage of a defensive error by the home team to score to make it 2-1.
In the second half, coach Carlo Ancelotti made a series of changes to improve the situation. Brahim Diaz and Eduardo Camavinga came on for Tchouameni and Valverde, hoping to help Real Madrid regain control of the game. However, despite the personnel changes, Real Madrid still could not overcome the loose defense.
In the 73rd minute, Rafael Leao crossed the ball for Tijjani Reijnders, and the Dutch midfielder made no mistake with an accurate shot into the left corner, raising the score to 3-1 for AC Milan.
In the final minutes of the match, Real Madrid tried their best and completely dominated the game but still could not score any more goals. The Spanish representative had to accept defeat with a final score of 1-3.
This was a surprising result and caused Real Madrid to continue struggling in the group. Coach Ancelotti's students only ranked 17th after 4 matches, while AC Milan rekindled their hope of continuing in this season's Champions League.
