Torino 2-3 Milan: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Torino 2-3 Milan in the Serie A on Monday, 08 December 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Milan secured a 3-2 victory over Torino in a competitive Serie A encounter. Torino started strongly, taking the lead through Nikola Vlašić’s penalty in the 10th minute, followed by Duván Zapata’s goal in the 17th to make it 2-0. Milan responded with Adrien Rabiot pulling one back in the 24th minute, but Torino held their advantage into the break despite Milan’s growing pressure, which aligned with their recent run of wins that had them topping the table.

The second half saw Milan turn the game around, with Christian Pulisic equalising in the 67th minute and then scoring again in the 77th to complete the comeback. Torino’s attempts to respond were hampered by yellow cards to Valentino Lazaro and Tino Anjorin around the midpoint, leading to substitutions that couldn’t shift the momentum. This defeat extended Torino’s poor form, with three straight losses following a couple of draws, while Milan’s win built on their impressive streak of victories.

Milan dominated possession with 64% compared to Torino’s 36%, allowing them to control much of the game’s rhythm and create more opportunities, as shown by their four corners against Torino’s two. Torino edged successful dribbles at 25 to Milan’s 20, suggesting they were more effective in individual battles despite less ball time, while Milan recorded three assists to Torino’s one, highlighting better teamwork in the final third. Torino converted one penalty but picked up two yellow cards to Milan’s one, and used all five substitutions – including Cesare Casadei replacing Tino Anjorin at 59 minutes, Adam Masina for Adrien Tamèze at 78 minutes, and a triple change at 84 minutes with Zakaria Aboukhlal for Ché Adams, Niels Nkounkou for Valentino Lazaro, and Cyril Ngonge for Marcus Pedersen – whereas Milan made three changes, such as Samuele Ricci for Rafael Leão at 31 minutes, Christian Pulisic for Davide Bartesaghi at 66 minutes, and Pervis Estupiñán for Alexis Saelemaekers at 88 minutes.

Torino burst out of the blocks with Nikola Vlašić converting a penalty in the 10th minute, and Duván Zapata doubled the lead in the 17th, assisted by Vlašić, putting early pressure on Milan. Milan hit back through Adrien Rabiot in the 24th, assisted by Fikayo Tomori, keeping them in the contest despite a yellow card to Mike Maignan earlier at 19 minutes for dissent. The game’s decisive phase came in the second half, with Christian Pulisic coming on at 66 minutes and scoring twice – first in the 67th assisted by Alexis Saelemaekers to level, then in the 77th assisted by Samuele Ricci to win it – while Torino’s yellow cards to Valentino Lazaro at 53 minutes for a foul and Tino Anjorin at 56 minutes disrupted their flow, leading to Cesare Casadei replacing Anjorin soon after.

Torino lined up in a 3-5-2 formation, with Duván Zapata and Ché Adams leading the attack, supported by Nikola Vlašić’s creative influence in midfield where he scored and assisted. Wing-backs like Valentino Lazaro and Marcus Pedersen provided width, though Lazaro’s yellow card and later substitution for Niels Nkounkou, alongside Pedersen’s replacement by Cyril Ngonge, highlighted adjustments needed in the latter stages. Partnerships such as Vlašić with Zapata proved effective early on, driving Torino’s initial dominance.

Milan deployed a 3-5-2 setup, relying on Adrien Rabiot’s midfield presence to score and Fikayo Tomori’s defensive solidity to assist, while Christian Pulisic made a significant impact after replacing Davide Bartesaghi. Wing options like Alexis Saelemaekers contributed assists before being substituted for Pervis Estupiñán late on, and Samuele Ricci’s entry for Rafael Leão added energy. The formation allowed Milan to exploit their possession advantage, with Pulisic’s brace underscoring the attacking partnerships that turned the match.

Nikola Vlašić earned Bwin’s Man of the Match award for his standout performance, scoring one goal from the penalty spot and providing one assist to help Torino take an early 2-0 lead. Despite the defeat, his two key passes underlined his influence in creating opportunities, even though he created no big chances. Vlašić’s contributions were central to Torino’s best moments in the game.
