Scorer: Calhanoglu 12 (M)

Hakan Calhanoglu’s early header proved enough for Milan to get the first points of the season, beating Brescia with surprise changes to their line-up.

Coach Marco Giampaolo transformed his side after a 1-0 defeat to Udinese, dropping Lucas Paqueta, Fabio Borini and above all Krzysztof Piatek, giving Andre Silva a shock start when he had been on the market all summer. He also changed his trademark 4-3-1-2 formation to a Christmas Tree shape, with new buy Ismael Bennacer’s first start, but Lucas Biglia, Pepe Reina, Theo Hernandez and Mattia Caldara were still injured. The Rondinelle won their opener at Cagliari and welcomed Ernesto Torregrossa back from injury.
