The first match of the Silvio Berlusconi friendly cup in its inaugural edition has concluded. The match ended in a 1-1 draw between AC Milan and Monza at the U-Power Stadium, with Pulisic scoring the lone goal for Milan.
AC Milan emerged victorious in the penalty shootout in this first edition of the tournament, which honours the former president and late figurehead of the two Italian clubs involved in this game: Silvio Berlusconi.
In this match, AC Milan fans got a deeper insight into the new players and their playing style, as we witnessed the first appearances of Noah Okafor and Samuel Chukwueze wearing the Milan jersey.
This was a good opportunity for Pioli to assess the players' physical fitness and understand their tactical abilities on the field, and there will be more important opportunities to work hard towards improving the team in the next friendlies and also through training sessions at Milanello.
