Bayern Munich edges AC Milan in U.S. soccer friendly

July 24 (UPI) -- Leon Goretzka scored the only goal in Bayern Munich's 1-0 win against AC Milan in an International Champions Cup friendly match in Kansas City, Kan.

The score came in the 48th minute of the match Tuesday at Children's Mercy Park. Bayern and Milan played even for the majority of the first half before the scoring sequence. Bayern right back Joshua Kimmich received a pass on the right flank during the possession.

Kimmich threaded a beautiful pass into the box, leading Goretzka toward the near post. The Bayern midfielder took a short touch with his right foot before grounding a shot into the far-post netting. The crafty finish fooled Milan keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
