Goalkeeper Mistake Gifts Opening Goal
The breakthrough arrived in the 52nd minute following a mistake by Milan’s young goalkeeper, Lorenzo Torriani. As the home side attempted to build from the back, Kristoffer Zachariassen dispossessed the goalkeeper during a loose clearance, allowing Joseph to slot the ball into the net, TERAZ.sk reported.
Zachariassen struck again in the 66th minute to set up the second goal. He drove forward on a counter-attack sprint, drew the remaining defenders and the goalkeeper toward him, and squared a pass across the face of an open goal for Joseph to finish easily.
