    Chukwueze scores as AC Milan thrash Perth Glory 9-0 in friendly

    Published on

    AC Milan delivered a commanding performance in their preseason preparations, dismantling Australian side, Perth Glory, 9–0 in a one-sided friendly encounter on Thursday.

    The Italian giants took control early in the match, with F. Terracciano opening the scoring in just the 3rd minute.

    The floodgates soon opened as Noah Okafor netted twice in quick succession, scoring in the 24th and 27th minutes.

    G. Comotto added a fourth in the 30th minute, while S. Chukwueze struck just two minutes later to make it 5–0.

    The second half saw no let-up from the Rossoneri.

    Rafael Leão, who later posed with a broad smile and four fingers raised to the camera, scored twice—once in the 47th minute and again in the 86th.

    S. Ricci and Y. Musah also added their names to the scoresheet, with goals in the 59th and 80th minutes, respectively.

    The emphatic win reflects Milan’s sharpness ahead of the new season and highlights the depth of their attacking options, with eight different players contributing to the rout.

    Perth Glory, meanwhile, were unable to match Milan’s pace and precision, struggling defensively throughout the match and failing to register a response.
