In the second friendly match of the season, the Nerazzurri drew 1-1 against Maccabi Bnei Reina (an Israeli team) at the Bortolotti Training Centre in Zingonia. The first half ended with the visitors’ lead thanks to Amash’s goal on 29 minutes as a result of a solo move. Colley scored the late equalizer in the second half, as he beat the on-rushing goalkeeper with a soft touch. The Nerazzurri had gone close to equalizing several times: Colley himself had hit the post from close range in the 52nd minute.
