AC Milan 2-0 CSU Craiova: Montella's Men Cruise to Comfortable Victory in Europa League Qualifier

AC Milan assured their place in the Europa League play-off on Thursday evening, winning their second-leg tie against Romania side top-tier side CSU Craiova 2-0 (3-0 agg).

While new signing Leonardo Bonucci was unable to play due to the lack of time to register him in the squad, the 65,000 fans who attended were treated to a solid performance from their revamped side.

The hosts took an early lead, with Giacomo Bonaventura pouncing on a mix-up between Craiova's keeper Nicolae Calancea and the side's defenders following a corner. 19-year-old Patrick Cutrone's close-range finish effectively put the tie beyond Craiova's reach early in the second half, and Vincenzo Montella's men proceeded to slip into cruise control, winning comfortably.
