July 20, (THEWILL) – AC Milan began their pre-season with an impressive 7-0 victory over Lumezzane in a friendly match on Thursday.
The Rossoneri dominated the game from start to finish, displaying a strong attacking performance. American forward, Christian Pulisic, provided two crucial assists, while young talent, Lorenzo Colombo, shone with two well-taken goals. The first half witnessed a flurry of goals, with Pulisic orchestrating the action before coach Pioli’s strategic substitutions in the second half added further dynamism to the team’s play.
In the early minutes of the match, Pulisic’s ball control set up Tommaso Pobega for a close-range finish, after narrowly missing a goal himself moments before. Junior Messias and Lorenzo Colombo added two more goals in quick succession, leaving Lumezzane’s defence overwhelmed. Despite the initial chaos, the Rossoneri eventually settled into a rhythm, heading into half-time with a comfortable 4-0 lead.
During the second half, Pioli introduced new signing, Luka Romero, who wasted no time making an impact by assisting Colombo’s second goal. Further substitutions injected energy and creativity into Milan’s gameplay, with Romero eventually converting a penalty to secure his first goal for the club.
Kevin Zeroli’s late header sealed the deal with a convincing 7-0 scoreline. While the victory provided a positive start to their pre-season, Milan remain aware that tougher challenges await in the upcoming fixtures, with Real Madrid, Juventus and Barcelona waiting.
