Ismael Bennacer was handed his full debut in AC Milan’s 1-0 win over newly-promoted Serie A side Brescia on Saturday.
The Algerian midfielder teamed up with Marco Giampaolo’s men from Empoli in the summer for a reported transfer fee of €16 million.
The defensive midfielder made a 14-minute cameo appearance in his side’s 1-0 defeat to Udinese last weekend.
Against Eugenio Corini’s men, Bennacer was handed his first start and impressed, helping the Red and Blacks keep a clean sheet.
Hakan Calhanoglu scored the solitary goal that separated the two sides in the 12th minute of the encounter after he was set up by Suso.
