Milan gained swift revenge on Juventus with a 2-1 victory at the San Siro this evening  to win the pre-season Berlusconi Cup, sponsored by rossoneri president Silvio Berlusconi in memory of his father Luigi.

Just three days after having lost to their Turin opponents by the same score in a 45-minute match in the three-way TIM Cup -- which Inter won with their neighbours finishing last -- Milan turned the tables despite missing several stars.

Ghana midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng and veteran Dutchman Clarence Seedorf gave the Milanese a two-goal lead at the break before Mirko Vucinic pulled one back in the second period.

Milan lined up with Antonio Cassano up front on his own due to an injury to Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the absence of Brazilians Pato and Robinho, rested due to their participation at the Copa America.

The down side for Milan was injuries to African pair Boateng and Nigerian full-back Taye Taiwo just a week before the new season begins.
