Boca Juniors wins over AC Milan

Roberto Abbondanzieri made two saves to help Boca Juniors beat AC Milan 4-3 in a penalty shootout and take third place in the Audi Cup on Thursday.

The goalkeeper stopped shots from Andrea Pirlo and Alexandre Pato, who had also wasted several opportunities in regulation as the game ended 1-1. There was no extra time.

Thiago Silva scored for Milan in the 27th but Lucas Viatri tied the game in the 87th.

Federico Insua also had his penalty saved in the shootout but Viatri then converted for Boca for the decisive score before Pato's blunder.

Bayern Munich played Manchester United for the title later.
