Sharjah24: Milan began their Serie A campaign with a 2-1 away victory against Torino at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in the first round of matches.

The first half ended in a goalless draw, despite Milan's dominance and possession for long periods. Coach Ruben Amorim then altered the game's rhythm in the second half with substitutions. Adrien Rabiot passed to Alvaro Cissé, who scored Milan's first goal of the new season on his first official start for the team.

Milan doubles their advantage

The Rossoneri needed only two minutes to add a second goal when Samuel Chukwueze sent in a cross that found Rabiot at the far post, and the Frenchman slotted it into the net in the 66th minute.

Torino pulls one back too late

Torino tried to get back into the game and reduced the deficit through Che Adams in the third minute of stoppage time, but time ran out for the home side to equalise. With this victory, Milan earned their first three points of the new season, giving their coach, Ruben Amorim, a successful start in his first official match in charge of the Rossoneri.
