Rossoneri Round Up for Jul 19: AC Milan Destroy Bologna 5-1 As Saelemaekers and Bennacer Score

AC Milan absolutely destroyed Bologna in a huge 5-1 win at the San Siro. Milan’s play looked fluid and their pressing was stunning. Alexis Saelemaekers and Ismael Bennacer scored their first goals in red and black with composed finishes. Hakan Calhanoglu was gifted a shot on goal from a Skorupski error to grab his goal after coming close on numerous occasions.

Ante Rebic got his goals after the break last time out and Davide Calabria also managed to score late on to round out the five. Franck Kessie and Theo Hernandez came close to scoring on a couple of occasions but the stand out performer was Zlatan Ibrahimovic who looked to have a future as a trequartista.
