THE TOUR CONCLUDES WITH A 9-0 VICTORY OVER PERTH GLORY | OneFootball

The Rossoneri came away with a comprehensive victory in the final friendly of their 2025 Pre-Season Tour: following earlier stops in Singapore and Hong Kong, Massimiliano Allegri’s men beat Perth Glory 9-0 to round off their Asia-Pacific journey in style. While not the most demanding test on a technical level, the match served as a useful opportunity to assess the team’s focus and mentality in approaching every opponent with the right mindset. Okafor (x2), Terracciano, Comotto (penalty) and Chukwueze scored in the first half, while Leão (x2), Ricci and Musah added to the tally after the break.

Terracciano’s early goal set the tone from the outset, and, all in all, the team’s effort and focus were commendable in front of over 20,000 fans at the HBF Park in Perth, many of them Rossoneri supporters who had travelled from all over Australia. It was a feel-good evening both on the pitch and in the stands, with Allegri giving game time to every outfield player by fielding two entirely different line-ups in each half. The Rossoneri will now return to Milanello, where they will resume training on Tuesday afternoon.

MATCH REPORT The tone was set early on as Terriacciano opened the scoring in just the third minute. He picked up the ball in the box from Okafor and slotted it under Birighitti with a well-struck effort. After chances for Jiménez and Chukwueze, the Rossoneri doubled their advantage through Okafor in the 23rd minute from a Jiménez assist. Four minutes later, Okafor scored again, turning home a deflected Loftus-Cheek effort. Comotto was the next one to celebrate, coolly converting from the spot after he won the penalty (29'). Samuel Chukwueze wrapped up the first half with a powerful left-footed drive.

The Rossoneri changed the entire team to start the second half, and it took them just 13 seconds to make it 6-0: Leão raced through on goal and stuck it past Sail. AC Milan were in constant control and their seventh was soon in coming, as Samuele Ricci netted his first Milan goal, rifling it in under the crossbar. The Rossoneri kept up the pressure and, in the final ten minutes, added two more goals to their account. The first came from a solo effort by Yunus Musah, who powered it home at the near post from a tight angle (80'). Then, Bartesaghi sent his cross in towards Leão, who sent his header looping over Sail to make it 9-0.
