‘I would like to see him here in Milan’ - Chukwueze begs Osimhen to join AC Milan
Super Eagles star Samuel Chukwueze has asked Victor Osimhen to come play for AC Milan.
As it happened
AC Milan's new manager, Paulo Fonseca, played his first competitive game, with Samuel Chukwueze paired alongside Rafael Leao and Luka Jovic in attack.
Chukwueze, who had a poor campaign last season, was rewarded for his good form in Milan’s preseason games.
Paolo Vanoli, Torino manager, on the other hand, paired Duvan Zapata and Antonio Sanabria in attack.
Milan started the game brightly, dominating most of the possession, but conceded a reckless goal in the 32nd minute.
Torino had a nice passage of play from defence to attack, which led to a cross from Zapata. The ball went straight to Raoul Bellanova, who planted his header onto the left post.

However, an agitated Malick Thiaw could not clear the ball on the goal line and put the ball into his own net.
Torino took their first-half performance into the second half and shortly after, they sank AC Milan’s hope of getting an equaliser.
)
A great cross from Valentino Lazaro found Duvan Zapata, who scored with a simple header into an empty net.
AC Milan tried to rally back and got two late equalisers. Tijjani Reijnders aimed and his effort deflected off Alvaro Morata to beat the goalkeeper.
)
Six minutes later, Yunus Musah put a cross into the box and found Noah Okafor, who latched on to the ball and struck the ball inside the left post.
The home team tried to push for the winner but could only settle for a 2-2 draw at the sound of the final whistle.
