Thanks to Olivier Giroud’s callousness, AC Milan also won their second game of the season in Serie A. The French striker converted two penalties in the 4-1 (3-1) win against FC Torino on Saturday (08/26/2023). The “Rossoneri” had already won comfortably in Bologna the week before.
Former Dortmund player Christian Pulisic (33′) put Milan in the lead, after Peer Schuurs (36′) equalized in the meantime, ex-world champion Giroud initially kept his nerve after a handball (43′), after a foul he scored from the point the 4-1 final score (65th). Theo Hernandez had previously scored Milan’s third goal. Germany international Malick Thiaw was in the starting XI and was substituted in the 79th minute.
False start for Roma
AS Roma is far from a perfect start to the season. After the 2-2 draw against Salernitana, coach José Mourinho’s team also weakened at Hellas Verona and lost 1-2 (0-2) despite a goal from Houssem Aouar (56th). Ondrej Duda (4th) and Cyril Ngonge (45th + 3) had given the hosts the lead. On the next matchday, Roma will play Milan at home.
