Joao Pedro Gives Chelsea Half-Time Advantage Against AC Milan in Indonesia
Joao Pedro scored twice and Moises Caicedo added a third as Chelsea controlled the match and kept a clean sheet.
- On Saturday, Chelsea defeated AC Milan 3-0 in a pre-season friendly in Jakarta, providing manager Xabi Alonso's side with an encouraging boost ahead of the new season.
- Ruben Amorim's Milan dominated early possession with veteran Luka Modric dictating the tempo, though Chelsea eventually settled and broke the deadlock in first-half stoppage time.
- Joao Pedro headed in a corner to break the deadlock, then doubled the lead immediately after halftime by sweeping home a Pedro Neto free-kick, while Moises Caicedo later produced a spectacular volley from the edge of the area.
- Milan manager Ruben Amorim made 8 changes at halftime, but his squad struggled to organize; the Blues maintained a clean sheet until the final whistle, rarely looking in danger of conceding.
- These sides last met in a friendly almost 12 months ago at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea won 4-1; supporters can stream match content via Chelsea's in-house station, CFC+, for a £15 annual subscription.
