GIMENEZ SCORES IN MEXICO FRIENDLY

It was a busy evening of international football for the Rossoneri. Reijnders, Pavlović and Jović played in World Cup qualification, Gimenez featured in Mexico's friendly against Switzerland, while Walker was on the bench for England. Tijjani Reijnders started in the Netherlands' 2-0 victory at home to Finland in 2026 World Cup qualifying. The Rossoneri's centre-midfielder was booked in the 61st minute and then subbed off eight minutes later for Weghorst. Tijjani put in a measured performance: tidy in possession but less impactful in the final third than usual.

Albania and Serbia played out a goalless draw, with two Rossoneri on the pitch for the away side. Strahinja Pavlović played the full 90 minutes and picked up a yellow card in the 17th minute. The Milan centre-back was his usual physical self and limited Albania's forwards. Luka Jović came on for Mitrović in the 76th minute: he didn't have many touches but test Strakosha late in the day.

Mexico lost 4-2 to Switzerland in Salt Lake City, USA. Santiago Gimenez scored for El Tri. El Bebote, who had threatened in the first half, capitalised on a mistake by the defenders and turned it home to make it 1-1 at the start of the second half. The Mexico number 9 played very well: constantly on the move, getting in behind and clinical in front of goal.
