Salzburg-AC Milan 0-3 live: Cisse hat-trick after lengthy VAR check

After heavy Champions League defeats for the 4 Italian sides, AC Milan must try to lift Italian football when they visit Salzburg at 18.45 for the second match of their 2026/27 Europa League league phase.

Ruben Amorim's side head to the Red Bull Arena needing to make amends for their disappointing debut in a 2-0 defeat to Benfica and an equally disappointing 1-1 Serie A draw with Sassuolo.


Salzburg-AC Milan 0-3

Scorers: 15' Cisse (M), 33' Cisse (M), 49' Cisse (M)

  • Goals and highlights

    49' GOAL AND LENGTHY VAR CHECK - Another AC Milan defensive lapse, but Pavlovic makes amends by getting the move going again and sending Loftus-Cheek through. The ball reaches the overlapping Rabiot, who crosses for Cisse to tap in again. VAR checks the Italian forward's marginal position at length before confirming that Zabransky played him onside, but only just. Cisse has his hat-trick.


    48' CHANCE - Salzburg threaten for the first time as Lindstrom plays in Morgalla, whose shot goes narrowly wide.


    33' GOAL - From the right, Rabiot picks out Bartesaghi's run deep on the left with a superb ball. Bartesaghi sends it first time towards the centre of the box, where the unmarked Cisse beats Zawieschitzky for the second time.


    25' CHANCE - Mazurek strikes powerfully from distance. The ball takes a strange trajectory and whistles just wide of Maignan's goal.


    21' YELLOW CARD - As their runs cross, Hutchinson accidentally brings down Mazurek without looking at him. Fesnic judges the challenge deliberate and books Hutchinson.


    17' GOAL-LINE CLEARANCE - On the brink of offside, Rabiot starts a move that sends Loftus-Cheek one-on-one with Zawieschitzky. The goalkeeper comes out low to deny him, but the ball falls to Hutchinson. He shoots with the goal at his mercy, only for Boma to clear off the line and turn it behind for a corner.


    15' GOAL - Hutchinson produces his first fine piece of play, crossing from the right to find Cisse's run into the centre of the box. The Italian gets ahead of Morgalla and beats Zawieschitzky.


    13' CHANCE - Combining with Bartesaghi in a fine, direct AC Milan move, Cisse bursts into the box. His final touch lets him down, though, and Zawieschitzky intervenes.


    8' CHANCE - A long ball finds Bartesaghi, who reaches the byline and drives a cross into the middle for Rabiot's run deep into the box. Rabiot's first-time right-footed effort heads for goal, but an unfortunate deflection off Camarda saves Salzburg.


    0' Kick-off at the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg at 18:45
