Shanghai: A miss by AC Milan’s 16-year-old reserve goalkeeper gave Real Madrid a 10-9 penalty shoot-out victory in an exhibition match in Shanghai on Thursday.
The shoot-out followed a 0-0 stalemate after 90 minutes and sealed victory for Real Madrid in the China edition of the International Champions Cup.
Both teams’ goalkeepers ended up having to take a spot-kick with the score still tied after all outfield players had taken a turn.
Madrid goalkeeper Kiko Casilla confidently strode to the penalty spot before hammering the ball past Milan teenager Gianluigi Donnarumma to put his side 10-9 ahead.
The keepers then swapped positions with Donnarumma needing to score to keep AC Milan in the game, but the young Italian fired directly at Casilla who saved easily to seal victory for the Spanish club.
Both clubs fielded strong line-ups — Real Madrid started with the world’s two most expensive footballers in Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale — but despite the talent on display there was little action for the near-capacity crowd.
