Fabio Borini scored the only goal as Milan beat Pro Piacenza in a friendly, with the two Maldini brothers facing off in front of father Paolo.

The break for international duty gave Coach Gennaro Gattuso the chance to experiment.

He used the 4-3-3 formation with summer signings Tiemoue Bakayoko, Samu Castillejo and Gonzalo Higuain in the starting XI.

It was Borini who found the net just before half-time to seal the slender 1-0 victory.

This friendly was above all notable for the fact it featured the two sons of Milan legend Paolo Maldini.
