The second leg will be in Hungary on August 1, with the winners going on to face Shakhtyor Soligorsk or Esbjerg on August 8 and 15.

Walter Mazzarri’s men weren’t originally in Europe, but were promoted to the preliminary round after Milan’s exclusion for Financial Fair Play issues. Because it was organised so late in the summer, they had to play in Alessandria, as the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino was hosting a concert.

The Granata threatened immediately from a free kick that Bremer just had to tap in on Andrea Belotti’s assist, but Attila Haris had to clear from practically off the line with the loose ball waiting to be tapped in.

Moments later, Torino doubled their lead with a bit of good fortune. Cristian Ansaldi scoring from an improbable angle.

Zaza completed his eventful cameo with the third goal.
