Historic First Official Match for the Rossoneri's Second Team. Here’s the report of Lecco-Milan Futuro, a match valid for the Coppa Italia Serie C, which ended 0-3, as relayed via Milan Press
The first noteworthy action comes from Lecco in the 5th minute: Buso's diagonal shot is well saved by Nava. This will be the first of many interventions by the Rossoneri goalkeeper during the evening. The match remains goalless until the 27th minute, despite Milan Futuro's good possession. Liberali takes advantage of a defensive error by the home team, scoring with his right foot to make it 0-1. In the 41st minute, Lecco responds with Tordini: his shot is providentially deflected for a corner by Bartesaghi. A great chance comes a minute later, in the 42nd minute, for Camarda: a lightning counterattack 4 against 1, but the number 9 waits too long, and with the opponents recovering, he shoots centrally and Furlan saves. The first half ends with a chance for Lecco: a shot from outside by Battistini is deflected by former Rossonero Di Gesù, but the ball goes wide.
Milan Futuro starts the second half poorly as Sia commits a foul in the penalty area at the 49th minute, and the referee points to the spot. Beghetto takes the penalty but is stopped by Nava, who saves the shot! In the 57th minute, a great opportunity for both sides: first, a shot by Sandri is saved by Furlan after a nice counterattack led by Camarda, then a shot by Galeandro misses the target from the penalty spot. Another save by Nava in the 60th minute, denying a close-range deflection from an opponent following a free kick. In the 66th minute, Milan Futuro doubles their lead with Jimenez: Bonera's decision to push the Spanish player up to the attacking midfield pays off immediately as Jimenez reaches the edge of the box and scores with power, fooling Furlan. 0-2. There’s also room for Nasti in the final minutes, replacing Camarda, and the 2003-born Rossonero makes an immediate impact in the 83rd minute with a shot from the edge that hits the crossbar.
