Samuel Chukwueze scored in the 55th minute, leading AC Milan to a 1-0 victory over Real Madrid in an international friendly at Soldier Field on Wednesday night.

Unmarked as he sprinted down the right, Chukwueze executed a left-footed shot past Real Madrid's goalkeeper Thibault Courtois from 8 yards out, securing the only goal of the match. New Milan coach Paulo Fonseca was optimistic, stating, "The result isn't that important, but winning in general is important."

Real Madrid, dealing with the absence of key players like Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham, concentrated on incorporating newcomer Endryck Moreira into the lineup. The team managed eight shots but couldn't capitalize. Milan, on the other hand, had 10 shots, including a substantial attempt by U.S. national team captain Christian Pulisic. Real Madrid's coach Carlos Angelotti noted the match's challenge with a younger squad, acknowledging AC Milan's dominance in possession.
