Chelsea Dominates Milan 3-0 with Joao Pedro's Brace
Chelsea decisively defeated AC Milan 3-0 in Jakarta, marking the end of Milan's friendly tour in Oceania and Asia. The Blues scored three goals around halftime. At the 45th minute, Joao Pedro leaped unchallenged in the box following a corner kick and beat Torriani, who was Milan's standout player under Amorim. Just 37 seconds into the second half, the Brazilian secured his brace, scoring from close range by getting ahead of a defensively slow Terracciano on a cross from the right by Pedro Neto. In the 51st minute, Caicedo sealed the victory with a well-placed shot from the edge of the box, executed from a corner kick routine. Chelsea also struck the woodwork three times through Welbeck, Quenda, and Jackson.
Palestra put in a commendable performance, being particularly lively on the left flank for a Milan side that failed to register a single shot on target. Milan will now return to Europe and will face Manchester United in Wroclaw on August 15th.
