AC Milan got three first half goals in an entertaining first half against Slavia Praha at San Siro, with the game kicking into life after the away side went down to ten men.
Milan were made to work hard for the opening goal and, as mentioned, Slavia going down to 10 men certainly helped. Rafael Leao cut inside from the left wing and whipped a cross/shot towards the far post, where Olivier Giroud was on hand to head home.
👌 GIROUD MAKES IT 1-0!

As the pressure suggested, the Rossoneri did get themselves in front and it came from Reijnders. A short corner was not properly closed down by an increasingly tired looking Slavia side, and the Dutch midfielder was given time to step into a shot which he thumped into the bottom left corner.
😍 WHAT A STRIKE TIJJ

Another goal followed before the break and again it came via a set piece. Florenzi took the corner just as he did for the second goal, whipping it into a very dangerous area this time where Loftus-Cheek was waiting with the simple task of heading into the back of the net past a helpless Stanek.

Milan play awful.
I can’t watch it, Pioli tactics is none, no game plan, it’s all individual play.
Great goal for reijnders.
It’s in San siro! Against 10 players!
Their goalkeeper is better than maignan
Honestly Pioli has failed in his tactics in times of player selection why on earth will Pioli use tomori for Gabbia, Gabbia is a senior player more better than tomori Kjaer did extremely well to me our coach Pioli has failed us why will he loan Chaka Traore and Romero they are our best player so I assume Pioli should from now avoid errors.
See our perfect Acmilan line Pioli must use if he want an automatic qualifications
M.maignan
Florenzi, Kjaer, Gabbia, Theo Hernandez
Rejnder, benercer
Pulisic,N.okafor,leao
Geroud
“Chaka Traore and Romero they are our best player” – i seriously hope you are trying to be funny here otheriwise its an absolutely idiotic comment.
It’s over all Slavia need is 0 – 1 @home.
With this idoit pioli we’re going nowhere
