Cristiano Ronaldo Wins 1st Juventus Trophy, Scores in Super Cup Against Milan

Juventus won the Supercoppa Italiana on Wednesday in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, winning the competition for a record eighth time. They beat AC Milan 1-0 thanks to a headed goal from Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portuguese superstar headed home from close range in the second half, giving the Bianconeri a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Franck Kessie was sent off for Milan, while Gonzalo Higuain started on the bench and couldn't find the net against his parent club.

Both clubs were tied on seven Supercoppa titles entering the match.

For Juventus, it's their first win in three tries and revenge for the loss to Milan in 2016.
