Milan Thrash Salzburg 4-0 as Cisse Scores Hat-Trick

AC Milan produced a dominant performance away from home, beating RB Salzburg 4-0 in the Europa League league phase.

The standout performer was young forward Alfadjo Cisse, who scored a superb hat-trick, while Gonçalo Ramos added a fourth goal for Ruben Amorim’s side.

Milan took control early and opened the scoring in the 15th minute. Omari Hutchinson delivered an accurate cross into the box, and Cisse got ahead of his marker to finish and make it 1-0.

The Italian side doubled their advantage in the 33rd minute. Adrien Rabiot brought the ball down for Davide Bartesaghi, who set up Cisse for a close-range finish and his second goal of the night.

Cisse completed his hat-trick shortly after half-time. Ruben Loftus-Cheek made an excellent run before setting up Rabiot, whose low cross was turned in by the young forward to make it 3-0.

Gonçalo Ramos, introduced from the bench, sealed the emphatic victory with a close-range finish 18 minutes from time.

Milan’s Filippo Terracciano was sent off with a straight red card ten minutes before the end, but the dismissal did not change the outcome. The victory moved Milan onto three points, level with Salzburg in the standings.

Milan could hardly have asked for a more convincing European comeback.
