AC Milan Dominates Sassuolo 6-1 in Coppa Italia

AC Milan triumphed over Serie B leaders Sassuolo with a dominant 6-1 victory in the Coppa Italia last-16 match at San Siro, marking a significant performance under new manager Paulo Fonseca. Samuel Chukwueze was instrumental, scoring twice, as Milan secured a four-goal lead by halftime, allowing Fonseca to rest key players by making four substitutes at the break. Despite Sassuolo's strong form and their impressive run in Serie B, they were unable to withstand Milan's offensive onslaught. The win extends Milan's unbeaten streak to seven games in all competitions as they aim for their first Italian Cup win since 2003. Fonseca praised the team's serious attitude and was particularly pleased with the performance of players who had seen less playtime, reflecting his trust in the entire squad. Looking ahead, Fonseca remains focused on their upcoming league match against Atalanta, rather than potential future Cup opponents.
