How it unfolded
The match began with both teams creating scoring opportunities, but it wasn't until the 52nd minute that the first notable event occurred, as Ruben Loftus-Cheek was shown a yellow card for a bad foul. This booking seemed to spark AC Milan into life, and they soon took the lead through Alphadjo Cissè's right-footed shot from the left side of the box, assisted by Adrien Rabiot's cross, in the 64th minute. Just two minutes later, Adrien Rabiot doubled AC Milan's advantage with a left-footed shot from the left side of the six-yard box, this time assisted by Samuel Chukwueze's cross. As the match drew to a close, Torino pushed for a late goal and were rewarded in the 90'+3' minute, as Ché Adams scored with a right-footed shot from the centre of the box, assisted by Gvidas Gineitis's cross following a set piece situation. Despite this late consolation, AC Milan held on to secure the 2-1 win. 4. ## Standout performers The goalscorers, Alphadjo Cissè and Adrien Rabiot, were instrumental in AC Milan's victory, with the latter also providing an assist for Cissè's goal.
