It was the season of the Rossoneri's second Scudetto, five years on since their first triumph, and something new in the game came about: AC Milan were the first club to introduce netting attached to the goalposts, with the aim of keeping the ball inside the net after goals had been scored. It was a landmark decision that would remain in football forever. Captained once again by the Herbert Kilpin, the only Englishman in the squad, AC Milan changed grounds and moved to play at Porta Monforte; it would be called home until 1914: across the season, AC Milan played 41 times, winning 29 and drawing seven with a total of 130 goals scored and 34 conceded. The Final Round of the competition saw the Rossoneri line-up face Juventus and Genoa, but the most anticipated game was against the Bianconeri, because the Genoani, led by Spensley, were in rapid decline in 1906. The closely fought battle with the side from Turin was confirmed by the scorelines in the group stages: 2-1 for Juventus in Turin, 1-0 for AC Milan in Porta Monforte. A play-off was required, which ended 0-0 at the Umberto I Velodrome in Turin. The game had to therefore be replayed, with AC Milan designated as the home team by the Federation. Juve, though, didn't show up in protest, paving the way for the Rossoneri's second Scudetto.
