Torino 1-2 AC Milan: Rabiot inspires opening-day win for Amorim
AC Milan secured a 2-1 victory over Torino in their Serie A season opener, with substitute Adrien Rabiot scoring and providing an assist. This match marked the successful debut of new coach Ruben Amorim.
Why it matters
The result is a significant milestone for AC Milan's new project under Amorim, demonstrating the immediate impact of tactical substitutions in professional football.
Adrien Rabiot grabbed a goal and an assist off the bench as AC Milan began life under Ruben Amorim with a 2-1 against Torino in their first Serie A match of 2026-27.
Rabiot teed up Alphadjo Cisse eight minutes after replacing Ardon Jashari, before finding the back of the net himself to hand the Rossoneri all three points.
Milan started brightly as Cisse struck the side-netting before Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Pervis Estupinan both had efforts blocked in quick succession from close range.
Samuel Chukwueze then brought the first save out of Diego Mascardi after half-an-hour, but that was the closest either team came to opening the scoring in a low-key first half.
