FIORENTINA-MILAN ROUND 1: THE PRECEDENT FROM ‘77

MILAN – Round 1 of Serie A sees the rossoneri travel to Florence to face Paulo Sousa’s Fiorentina. The last time the two sides met on the first day of a new season was on the 11th of September 1977. On a sunny afternoon, Milan scored a late equaliser through Egidio Calloni, much to the delight of the Milan fans packed into the away sector of the stadium, and to cancel out Rossinelli’s opener for the hosts on 53 minutes. Final score: 1-1.
