AC Milan ran away with a 0-4 win over Salzburg in the Liga Europa, scoring twice before the interval and twice after it. The hosts were shut out from start to finish, and the visitors' finishing left little room for an argument about the result.

Match Summary

The match opened as a one-way story. Milan were in front after 15 minutes, although the scorer was not listed in match data, and that early strike set the terms. Salzburg had to chase from there. Omari Hutchinson saw a yellow card in the 21st minute, a small check on the away side that did not last. Alphadjo Cisse made it two in the 32nd minute, and by then Milan had a clear cushion. Valentin Zabransky was booked for Salzburg in the 40th minute. The home side reached half-time two goals behind.

The second half followed the same script. Cisse scored again in the 49th minute, his second of the night. Goncalo Ramos added a fourth in the 72nd minute to confirm the official 0-4 scoreline. Filippo Terracciano was sent off in the 83rd minute, a late red card that did nothing to change the outcome.

Key Moments

The early lead, even without a named scorer, forced Salzburg into a chase they could not complete. Cisse scoring either side of half-time was decisive because it removed any need for Milan to protect a single-goal lead after the break. By the time Ramos scored, Milan were turning chances into a margin Salzburg could not close. Terracciano's red came with seven minutes remaining and had no effect on a result that had long since been settled.

Match Statistics

The shot count was almost even, 14 for Salzburg and 15 for AC Milan, but that is where the comparison ended. Only two of the hosts' attempts were on target, while Milan put 10 on target. Expected goals sat at 0.79 for Salzburg and 3.99 for the visitors, a spread that matches a 0-4 night. Corners finished 3-2 in Salzburg's favour, one of the few columns they won. Discipline was mostly even on yellows, one apiece, until Milan's late red left them a player down at the end.
