AC Milan cruises against AC Monza on a home win at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Saturday. Milan were looking to pick up points after winning their previous two matches in the competition.

Milan are now in 2nd place, with 26 points from 11 matches, while ASS sit in 14th, with 10 points from 11.

Milan continued to pile on the pressure in the second half and were rewarded, with a goal from Divock Origi on the 65 minute mark. However, ASS refused to lie down and managed to pull back a goal from Filippo Ranocchia on the 70 minute mark. In the end though, Milan then grabbed a goal from Rafael Leao, at 84 minutes, seing the match finish 4-1.
