PRIMAVERA END THE SEASON WITH A DRAW
Youth Teams
A late goal to draw level with Torino and close out the Primavera 1 2025/26 season with a draw. The 1-1 on the final matchday of the league season at PUMA House of Football reflected a first half that favoured the visitors and a second half in which AC Milan created plenty of goalscoring chances, only to be repeatedly denied by the opposition goalkeeper, including on the penalty taken by Scotti, who completes his time in the category with 149 appearances to his name: a record in the Club's recent history. Perina's goal, meanwhile, marks his first in the league.
Both sides came into the match without anything to play for in the standings, but assured of their place in Primavera 1 for next season as well. The Rossoneri did not qualify for the play-offs but leave behind a season played with many underage youngsters, very much in line with the vision that drives the Milan Futuro project, accompanying the boys on their professional and personal journey with ambition and the right values. See you for the 2026/27 season.

MATCH REPORT
After the customary initial period of feeling each other out, the two sides began to threaten each other's penalty area with a few scrappy chances. Scotti and Borsani failed to hit the target, while Bouyer deflected a scissor-kick effort from Kugyela out for a corner. The visitors came close to taking the lead around the half hour mark: Tonica headed in a long-range effort from a teammate, but the linesman raised his flag. Three minutes later, however, Sandrucci struck a free-kick into the box from distance and nobody managed to make contact with the ball, which crept into the Rossoneri goal to make it 0-1. Before the break, Kugyela threatened again, with his left-footed effort which deflected onto the outside of the net.
The Rossoneri came out firing at the start of the second half, with five chances in the opening quarter of an hour. First Plazzotta, then Ibrahimović, with the ball hitting the back of the net just after the referee's whistle, who had been spotted offside. Borsani won a penalty, but Santer saved Scotti's effort. Ibrahimović then struck the crossbar with the visiting goalkeeper getting a touch, before the same goalkeeper came to his side's rescue again by keeping out Borsani's shot. Further chances came just after the hour mark: Domniței struck the outside of the net giving the illusion of a goal, while Zaramella could not convert the tap-in. The equaliser came in the closing stages however: a cross from the right by Domniței and a header from Perina, who sealed the 1-1 despite some nervy moments at the end.
