MILAN FUTURO HALTED IN CISERANO: 1-0 | OneFootball

Milan Futuro suffered their first defeat of the season, losing 1-0 to Virtus at the Pesenti. Matchday 6 of Group B was a tight match decided by a single moment: the decisive play came from Viscardi – undoubtedly the standout performer on the pitch – who slotted home after Torriani had saved a penalty taken by the Bergamo side’s captain, Lucenti. That moment summed up the match: disciplined play from both teams, but few real attacking sparks.

Ultimately, the 90 minutes were decided by a single episode, rewarding a more experienced Virtus side that remains unbeaten at home this season across both league and Coppa Italia fixtures. Still, there were positives for coach Oddo to take away – from the solidity shown at the back to the pride and determination his side displayed in chasing an equaliser late on. Qualities to build on when play resumes in the second half of October, after the postponement of the next two fixtures (Varesina in the Coppa Italia and Breno in the league) due to the international break.

MATCH REPORT A slow start from both sides saw Oddo’s Milan Futuro trying to build through possession. The first chance came for the hosts in the 10th minute, with Torriani reacting quickly to deny Viscardi’s close-range shot. The game remained low-paced, and Milan’s first attempt came only in the 26th minute, when Hodzic fired wide after a sustained move. Opportunities remained scarce: Branca’s free-kick grazed the post in the 38th minute, and Adenyo’s run ended with a save from Torriani at the stroke of halftime.

Milan Futuro made two changes at the restart – Borsani and Ibrahimović, both scorers in the previous match – but the pattern of a tightly contested, low-chance game continued. The hosts threatened again in the 63rd minute as Viscardi cut inside, forcing another strong save from Torriani. Ciserano made two injury substitutions, but the match was decided in the 73rd minute: Cappelletti’s foul gave the home side a penalty, taken by Lucenti. Torriani saved, but Viscardi was quickest on the rebound to slot home. In the closing stages, Milan Futuro pressed with energy, particularly through Asanji, but could not break down the organised Ciserano defence or beat the alert Cavalieri in goal.
