Boca Juniors take third place at Audi Cup

Boca Juniors won the match for third place at the Audi Cup in Munich, beating AC Milan 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 result.

Thiago Silva put Milan ahead after 26 minutes, as the Italians looked to have recovered from Wednesday’s 4-1 defeat to hosts Bayern.

But the Argentinians scored through Lucas Viatri with just three minutes to go, and penalties were needed to decide which team was to finish third at this inaugural Audi Cup.

In the shoot-out, both sides had already missed one penalty when Milan’s Pato had the final spot kick saved by keeper Abbondanzieri, thereby handing the victory to Boca.
