Arsenal 2-0 reunited down to defeat host Ajax 3-2 in the opening day of the four team Amsterdam tournament on Friday.
Inter Milan, under new coach José Mourinho, drew 0-0 with Sevilla in the day for another game.
Togo striker Emmanuel Adebayor scored twice for Arsenal and also to create a goal for Danish Nicklas Bendtner.
The coach Arsène Wenger started with his strongest possible terms, but the team fell behind Londoners in 33 minutes when a headed clearance from Kolo Toure was broken by Luis Suarez, who compensated with a fierce volley.
Suarez then set up the second goal for Ajax unmarked Klaas Jan Huntelaar two minutes later.
But Arsenal turned the tide with a three-goal blitz in 15 second half minutes.
Arsenal next meet Seville on Saturday, while Ajax take on Inter.
Wenger's team remain in Dutch soil on Wednesday for the first leg against Steve McClaren's Twente Enschede in the Champions League third qualifying round.
