Michel Adopo knocked AC Milan out of the Italian Cup in the round of 16 on Wednesday with the only goal in Torino’s 1-0 win with 10 men at the San Siro after extra time. France’s Adopo scored the winning goal from a low cross from his compatriot Brian Bayeye in the 114th minute of an interesting match in which Koffi Djidji was sent off with 21 minutes left in regulation.
