Pescara 4-1 Milan Futuro: Rossoneri well beaten by league leaders | OneFootball

Milan Futuro’s struggles in Serie C continued as they were well beaten 4-1 by the league leaders Pescara on Thursday night.

Daniele Bonera’s side managed to get a 2-2 draw against Arezzo before the international break so the hope was that they could build on that for what was a tough encounter on paper.

However, a scoreline of 3-0 at half-time meant that the game had been lost fairly early on. Pierozzi opened the scoring after eight minutes, then Tonin and Merola struck in quick succession to put Pescara in command.

Turco scored early in the second half to threaten a comeback, though Bartesaghi’s own-goal ten minutes later once again killed the contest.

The Rossoneri must dust themselves down because they are back in action on Sunday afternoon at home against Sestri Levante, while sitting third-bottom in the table.
