Tough news. AC Milan’s Tour to the Asia-Pacific region kicked off with a loss on Wednesday, July 23, 2025. They were defeated at the National Stadium in Singapore. The final score was 1-0, with penalties ending 5-6. Bukayo Saka netted the only goal for the Gunners, who dominated the match. Despite facing challenges, the Rossoneri put in a strong effort and displayed great organization.

Certainly, this isn’t the best start for the new AC Milan Coach Massimiliano Allegri. However, it’s still early to gauge the results of the team’s efforts under Allegri and to assess the squad’s strength.

In other news, AC Milan saw debuts from Samuele Ricci and goalkeeper Pietro Terracino, along with young talents Christian Comotto, Matteo Duțu, and Vittorio Magni. Goalkeeper Lorenzo Torriani, who came on for Terracino in the 66th minute, made some impressive saves during both regular time and the shoot-out. Challenges like today’s are crucial for a team’s growth.

AC Milan’s tour will proceed with a match in Hong Kong. They are set to face Liverpool at the Kai Tak Stadium at 13:30 CEST on Saturday, July 26.

This tour consists of three stops aimed at connecting AC Milan with its global supporters through exceptional football, cultural experiences, and engaging brand narratives.

Fantastic news! Como 1907 triumphed over Al-Ahli, the current champions of the Asian Champions League, winning 3-1 in the inaugural match of the Como Cup on Wednesday, July 23, 2025.  Gabriel Strefezza was named the match MVP.

Allan Saint-Maximin, the former Newcastle winger, opened the scoring for the Saudis in the seventh minute. However, Como equalized in the 30th minute. Gabriel Strefezza sent a perfect left-footed cross to Patrick Cutrone, who headed it in for his first pre-season goal.

In the 48th minute, a cross from Álex Valle was accidentally turned into his own net by Merih Demiral, the ex-Juventus and Atalanta defender, giving Como a 2-1 advantage. The final touch came in the 69th minute when Ivan Azón scored his third goal in just two friendlies, assisted by Douvikas.

The match saw an early breakthrough in the 6th minute. Volpato delivered a perfect cross from the left to Missori, who skillfully executed an overhead kick past Barlocco. This goal marked the opening score of the match. Just four minutes later, in the 10th minute, Volpato’s cross found Pinamonti’s head, but his attempt was thwarted by the Trento goalkeeper.

In the 15th minute, Trento tried to challenge Turati, first with a cross-field shot from Pellegrini that narrowly missed, and then with a shot from the edge of the box by Fossati, which was deflected for a corner by the Neroverdi goalkeeper.

During the second half, Sassuolo had the first opportunity: in the 51st minute, Berardi received the ball in the box, controlled it well, and took a shot with his left foot, which was saved for a corner by Tommasi. From that corner, Sassuolo extended their lead with a tap-in from Muharemovic right in front of the goal. Sassuolo’s third goal came in the 59th minute, as Berardi provided a perfect cross for Boloca, who headed it past Tommasi.

In the 71st minute, Trento once again came close to scoring against Sassuolo. Mayr received the ball in the box and attempted a precise shot, but it went just to the right of Satalino.
