In a closely contested match, Milan emerged victorious with a score of 3-2 against Torino, thanks largely to the stellar performance of midfielder Christian Pulisic, who scored two goals. Despite facing challenges, the team managed to overturn an early deficit, thanks to contributions from Adrien Rabiot (23’ 1H) and Pulisic (66’ 2H and 76’ 2H). Torino found the net twice, with Nikola Vlasic (9’ 1H, penalty) and Duván Zapata (16’ 1H) scoring for the hosts.
Pulisic’s exceptional display not only led Milan to victory but also earned him the title of the match’s standout player as he recorded two goals and attempted two shots on target.
Also noteworthy was Christopher Nkunku, who showcased his striking capability with three attempts that tested the Torino defense.
On the Torino side, coach Marco Baroni deployed a 3-5-2 formation, with Franco Israel in goal, a defensive line of Adrien Tamèze, Guillermo Maripán, and Saúl Coco; and a midfield comprising Marcus Pedersen, Nikola Vlasic, Kristjan Asllani, Tino Anjorin, and Valentino Lazaro, supporting strikers Duván Zapata and Che Adams.
Milan’s manager, Massimiliano Allegri, opted for the same 3-5-2 setup, including Mike Maignan in goal; Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia, and Strahinja Pavlovic in defense; and a midfield featuring Alexis Saelemaekers, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Luka Modric, Adrien Rabiot, and Davide Bartesaghi. Christopher Nkunku and Rafael Leão formed the attack.
Referee Daniele Chiffi officiated the encounter at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.
Looking ahead, Torino will host Cremonese in their next fixture, while Milan will take on Sassuolo at home.
After this match, Torino holds 14 points and sits in 16th place, while Milan leads the league with 31 points.
