Cisse hat-trick powers Milan to stunning 4-0 win over Salzburg

Milan bounced back from their defeat against Benfica in spectacular fashion, dismantling Salzburg 4-0 away from home in the second round of the Europa League league phase.

The standout performer was 19-year-old Alphadjo Cisse, who opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a powerful header following a precise cross from Hutchinson. The young forward doubled Milan’s advantage before halftime, finishing Bartesaghi’s pass with composure.

Cisse completed his remarkable hat-trick shortly after the restart, converting Adrien Rabiot’s delivery to cap an outstanding individual performance.

Goncalo Ramos added Milan’s fourth after capitalising on a costly defensive mistake from the Austrian hosts, sealing a convincing victory for the Italian side.

The only setback came late on, when Terracciano was sent off for a last-man foul on Drexler. Despite the dismissal, Milan secured three valuable points and regained momentum in their European campaign.
