Leon Goretzka scored in the dying moments of the first half and Bayern Munich's defense stood tall down the stretch to secure a 1-0 victory over AC Milan at the International Champions Cup on Tuesday. Right-back Joshua Kimmich found Goretzka with a defense-splitting pass deep into stoppage time and the Germany midfielder coolly slotted the ball past Gianluigi Donnarumma to give the club a second win in the exhibition competition.

Milan had their chances in the second half, not least when Patrick Cutrone was put through one-on-one with Sven Ulreich only to be denied by the goalkeeper, but could not find an equalizer on a warm night in Kansas City. The match was Milan's first since head coach Marco Giampaolo took the helm at the Serie A club, who parted ways with Gennaro Gattuso at the end of last season. Next up for Bayern Munich is a semi-final clash with Turkey's Fenerbahce on Tuesday while Milan face Portuguese outfit Benfica on Sunday.
