Amorim’s Milan beaten by Benfica, Sunderland make dream European return
AC Milan slipped to their first defeat under Ruben Amorim with a 2-0 loss, while Sunderland clinched a 1-0 victory over AZ Alkmaar after a 53-year absence.
Milan suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Benfica in the Europa League, marking their first loss under manager Ruben Amorim, while Sunderland made a triumphant return to European competition with a 1-0 victory over AZ Alkmaar. The Italian giants, seven-time European champions, were outmaneuvered by the Portuguese side, who secured an unbeaten start to their Europa League season.
Benfica's Dodi Lukebakio scored a stunning individual goal early on, and Jakub Kaminski capitalized on a cross to seal the victory. Sunderland, the Black Cats, showed resilience in their first European match since 1973, with Weslley Patati scoring a penalty after Le Fee had a similar spot-kick saved by David Raya in their recent Premier League fixture.
