Sampdoria 0-1 AC Milan: Bacca strike secures winning start for Brocchi

Having decided to part company with Sinisa Mihajlovic this week, AC Milan beat Sampdoria in its first game under Cristian Brocchi.

Cristian Brocchi enjoyed a winning start to his stint as AC Milan coach as it ran out a 1-0 winner against struggling Sampdoria at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

The visiting side kept alive its slim hopes of a top-five Serie A finish this season as Carlos Bacca's strike with just less than 20 minutes remaining proved decisive.

Bacca had previously been wasteful, missing a number of clear chances, though he produced the one moment of quality to ensure his dry spell of one goal in eight competitive matches was ended.
