Milan lost to Borussia Dortmund by 1-3 at the start of the International Champions Cup, the preseason super-tournament that joins the main European football emblems with games in China, the United States and Singapore.

The Italians failed to counteract the Germans' effectiveness, with an inspired Pulisic (all three goals) and a Aubameyang demolisher.

Dortmund took the lead in the minute 16 following a late pass from Pulisic who allowed the Turkish Sahin to shoot from outside the area with the left foot, with no chance for Storari.

Three minutes later, Pulisic invaded the area and was shot down by Paletta. Penalty for Aubameyang and the second goal come. The result changed minutes later to 2-1 to AC Milan by Bacca. In sequence of a quick counterattack led by Gonzalo Castro, offering the 3rd goal to Aubameyang in the 62.
