COLOMBO AT THE DOUBLE: 2‑1 TO AC MILAN
Youth Teams
Back in action after the international break, AC Milan's Primavera side returned to winning ways after coming from behind: the Rossoneri beat Cremonese 2-1 at Vismara thanks to Colombo's brace. Also to be noted is Mattia Caldara's return to the pitch: the Italian started and played 45 minutes in central defence for Coach Giunti's side. After an opening period where the Rossoneri struggled to create anything due to a lack of space and even went behind following Bertazzoli's goal, AC Milan hit back in the second half as Colombo scored twice. Our lads now sit on eleven points in second place in the league after five matchdays, four behind table-toppers Hellas Verona. The Primavera will once again be an action next Saturday, when they'll face Parma at Vismara.

MATCH REPORT
There was little goalmouth action in the first half, with neither side able to threaten and the ball spending most of its time in the centre of the pitch. But things changed after 36 minutes as Bertazzoli slid in and robbed Soncin of the ball before giving Cremonese the lead. In the second half, AC Milan went up a gear and equalised almost immediately through substitute Colombo, who found the corner of De Bono's goal with a left-footed strike in the 48th minute. And Lorenzo then scored again with 66 minutes on the clock as he finished off Brescianini's assist with his right foot following a great Rossoneri move. This goal was enough to give the Rossoneri the win.
