Leao and Adli shine for five-star Milan

Milan swept Wolfsberger aside 5-0 in a friendly, including a splendid Rafael Leao lob, while Yacine Adli contributed a goal and an assist.

The Rossoneri had almost a full squad at their disposal, missing Divock Origi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Tommaso Pobega, while Daniel Maldini is making his loan move to Spezia.

Yacine Adli was used in the trequartista role behind the strikers, although he dropped deeper at times too, and continued to impress with his one and two-touch approach.

Rafael Leao repeatedly threatened in the opening stages, going close with several shots, before breaking the deadlock with a sensational lob over the goalkeeper, having controlled the Davide Calabria ball over the top with a great first touch.

The second came moments later, Adli pulling across the six-yard box with a pass that Ante Rebic just had to tap in at the back post.

Junior Messias replaced Leao for the second half and was on the scoresheet within 10 minutes, ready to tap in after Theo Hernandez blazed past a defender.

Alexis Saelemaekers saw his attempt cleared off the line on a Rebic assist, but Adli was ready for the rebound and gave a fist-pump celebration for his first goal.

Matteo Gabbia made it 5-0 with a header after Stefano Pioli made numerous substitutions, while Antonio Mirante had to make a couple of saves to maintain the clean sheet.
