MILAN FUTURO FROM THE SPOT: 1‑0 v BRENO
Milan Futuro
Milan Futuro secured their first home win of 2026, putting a frustrating spell behind them with a convincing win over Breno at the Chinetti Stadium in Solbiate Arno. The decisive moment came shortly after the half-hour mark, when a composed Chaka Traorè converted from the penalty spot, taking his tally to five goals in Serie D this season. It was an important result that could have been more emphatic for Massimo Oddo’s side, who were energetic and creative – especially in the first half – and generated several scoring opportunities.
The Rossoneri claimed three valuable points and temporarily return to the Playoff zone with 38 points, while also 'avenging' the defeat suffered in the reverse fixture. A solid and convincing team display, with little conceded at the back and a second clean sheet of the calendar year following the win in Vimercate against Leon. Confidence now builds ahead of the next challenge: a difficult away trip to Veneto to face Caldiero Terme on Sunday 22 at 14:30 CET.

MATCH REPORT
Milan Futuro’s first chance came after nine minutes, with Karaca’s run forcing a sharp save from Grasso. Oddo’s side controlled much of the play in the attacking half, though Breno threatened in the 20th minute when Vladimirov was forced to clear a dangerous rebound off the line. The breakthrough came in the 30th minute: Sardo drove forward and shot from distance, Grasso parried it back towards the middle of the box, and Sala was fouled by the goalkeeper as he chased the rebound. From the spot, Traorè calmly converted to give Milan Futuro the lead. The tempo remained measured, with Eletu producing a key defensive intervention after 37 minutes, while Traorè led a promising counter just before the break but Karaca couldn’t get his shot away in time.
The second half began with two quick chances for the hosts: in the 47th minute Traorè and Sardo were both denied in the box, and five minutes later Sardo’s header was cleared off the line. Breno threatened through Bitihene on the hour mark, and substitute Lontani fired over from a good position in the 72nd minute. In the closing stages, Karaca again tested Grasso after good work from the 2008-born youngster. Milan Futuro managed the final minutes confidently, limiting risks and nearly doubling the lead in stoppage time through Magrassi and Sardo. It mattered little as at the final whistle, the Rossoneri secured the win.
