Several stand out in 9-0 rout: Player ratings for Perth Glory-Milan from Italian media

AC Milan put Perth Glory to the sword in their final preseason tour game, winning 9-0 against the A-League side on their home turf.

There were five goals in the first half as Filippo Terracciano opened the scoring early on, Noah Okafor scored a quickfire double, Christian Comotto won and converted a penalty, then Samuel Chukwueze fired in a rocket.

Despite 11 changes being made being made at the break, the Rossoneri kept pushing. Rafael Leao scored after 15 seconds of the second half, Samuele Ricci and Yunus Musah fired in lovely goals then Leao scored a header to round off a convincing nine-nil victory.

Ratings from the media

Starting with La Gazzetta dello Sport’s player ratings, the newspaper praised Filippo Terracciano, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Christian Comotto, Samuel Chukwueze, Alex Jimenez and Samuele Ricci, giving them a 7 out of 10.

Leao got a 7.5, while Noah Okafor was adjudged to be the best on the field as he was given an 8. Strahinja Pavlovic, Matteo Gabbia, Pervis Estupinan, Pietro Terracciano, Youssouf Fofana, Alexis Saelemaekers and Mattia Liberali got 6.5s, with everyone else receiving a passing score.

Tuttosport meanwhile gave the highest mark to Chukwueze and Leao (7.5). Ricci, Jimenez and Okafor were given a 6, then Maignan, both Terraccianos, Pavlovic, Bartesaghi, Loftus-Cheek, Musah, Liberali and Saelemaekers got half a point less. Nobody got below a 6 out of 10, like with La Gazzetta.

MilanNews did something a bit different, giving a tops and flops style breakdown. Jimenez, Comotto, Okafor, Ricci and Leao were the ones they picked out for the former category, and only Estupinan was picked for the latter.
