AC Milan 1-1 Juventus: Belgian Trio Starts as Gatti Denies Rossoneri

AC Milan and Juventus played to a 1–1 draw in Serie A action at Turin, according to match reports. Federico Gatti secured the equalizer for Juventus in the 92nd minute, canceling out an earlier goal by Milan substitute Alphadjo Cissè and halting Milan’s streak of early-season victories.

Match Summary and Late Equalizer in Turin

The fixture at Turin remained scoreless through the first half before opening up after the break. According to match accounts, Juventus defender Federico Gatti leveled the score deep into stoppage time at the 92nd minute. The late strike denied AC Milan a third victory to open the domestic campaign, leaving both historic clubs level on seven points after three matches. AC Milan manager Ruben Amorim—referred to in match reports—had deployed a lineup featuring multiple Belgian internationals from the opening whistle.

Belgian Internationals Make First Joint Start

For the first time this season, Alexis Saelemaekers, Diego Moreira, and Koni De Winter started a match together for AC Milan. According to club usage records, the trio of Belgian internationals played together during the opening hour of the clash against Juventus. Saelemaekers and Moreira both logged roughly 60 minutes on the pitch before being substituted. Meanwhile, defender Koni De Winter played the full ninety minutes across the Milan backline, following his inclusion in the broader Belgium squad for the 2026 World Cup cycle.

Transfer Investments and Tactical Changes

The match highlighted significant squad investments made by Milan ahead of the campaign. Winger Diego Moreira featured prominently following his high-profile transfer from Strasbourg. According to financial figures reported during the move, Milan invested 50 million euros to secure the 22-year-old Belgian, with potential add-ons that could raise the total package to 60 million euros. Tactical adjustments proved fruitful when Moreira’s replacement, Alphadjo Cissè, broke the deadlock in the 68th minute by netting Milan’s opening goal shortly after entering the game. Despite the successful substitution, Gatti’s late heroics for Juventus ensured the spoils were shared in Piedmont.
