    Ramos scores, Salzburg 0–4 AC Milan

    Gonçalo Ramos made it 0–4 in the 72nd minute, set up by Ardon Jashari. Alphadjo Cissè had scored three times earlier. Salzburg have scored 3 of their 9 goals this season after the 75th minute, but have not replied once so far.

  2. Minute 34 0–2

    Cissè scores again, Salzburg 0–2 AC Milan

    Alphadjo Cissè made it 2 in the 32nd minute, with Davide Bartesaghi providing the assist. Cissè had opened the scoring in the 15th minute from an Omari Hutchinson pass. Two goals from the same player, and Salzburg were already chasing the game in the 34th minute.

    Number of the match: 2 — That is how many goals Alphadjo Cissè scored for AC Milan by the 34th minute.

Live · half-time · 0–2

Number of the match 0 That is how many shots on target Salzburg had in the first half, while AC Milan had 4.

Cissè decided the first half. Cissè's second goal in the 32nd minute set up the break. Davide Bartesaghi provided the assist. Earlier, in the 15th minute, Cissè scored after a pass from Omari Hutchinson. The stats match the scoreline: shots were 2 to 6, shots on target 0 to 4. Possession was almost even: 49% to 51%. Clinical finishing made the difference, not dominance.

A run against helplessness. Salzburg came into this game on 10 matches unbeaten and 3 without conceding. The first half ended the second of those runs. The season also shows that the hosts can score late: 3 of their 9 goals came after the 75th minute. In the league, Haris Tabakovic has 6 goals in 5 matches.

Before the match

Salzburg, unbeaten in ten matches, host AC Milan in the Europa League

Salzburg, 14th in the Europa League table with 3 points after one match, host AC Milan, who are 30th with 0 points. The hosts are on a run of 10 matches without defeat, while the visitors arrive with four days' rest.

Number of the match 10 That is how many matches in a row Salzburg have gone unbeaten before the game against Milan.

Two ends of the table

After the first round of the Europa League, Salzburg are 14th with 3 points from one match. AC Milan are 30th and have yet to pick up a point after one game. The gap in the table is clear, but after one round it rests on single results. For both sides this is the second round of the league phase. Salzburg go into it with maximum points, Milan with none.

The hosts' run

Salzburg have not lost in ten matches in a row. They have not conceded in the last three, and in their last league game they drew 0–0 away at GAK. It was the first match of the season in which the team failed to score. Salzburg have also won their last six home matches. The team's top league scorer is Haris Tabakovic, who has 6 goals in 5 matches.

Milan after the draw at Sassuolo

In their last league match, Milan drew 1–1 away at Sassuolo. Rabiet put the hosts ahead after the break, and Odenthal equalised in the 68th minute after a corner. Milan are 4 days on from that Serie A game, Salzburg 5 days on from their Admiral Bundesliga match. That puts the rest difference at one day in the hosts' favour.

First Europa League meeting

Thursday's match will be the first meeting of the two clubs in the Europa League. So far they have only played each other in the Champions League. In September 2022 the match in Salzburg ended 1–1. The last meeting was in the Champions League group stage in November 2022, and Milan won at home 4–0. In 6415 matches in which the sides were of similar strength, the home team won 49%, 26% were draws and the away team won 26%. At least 3 goals were scored in 52% of such games.

Goals after the 75th minute and the bench

Salzburg have scored 9 goals this season, 3 of them after the 75th minute. The team also has 2 points thanks to goals from substitutes, the best figure in the league. Milan equalised at Sassuolo in the 68th minute, so the later stages of matches have mattered for both sides. Salzburg therefore have players in the squad who have won points by coming off the bench.

Squads with gaps

Milan are without Alexis Saelemaekers and Matteo Gabbia, both injured. Gabbia had to leave the pitch early in the match at Sassuolo. At Salzburg, Filip Matijasevic and Johannes Moser are suspended. Anrie Chase, Christian Zawieschitzky, Damir Redzic and Enrique Aguilar are injured. Salzburg also cannot call on Diabate, Omoregie and Veratschnig, who have injuries.
