JAKARTA - Zlatan Ibrahimovic made changes for AC Milan. In his second post-trip to the San Siro, the Sweden international roars in the Rossoneri's 2-0 win over Cagliari in Serie A on Saturday, January 11 evening.

Before the match, Milan was haunted by the fact that they did not score a goal for 360 minutes of the match. When Stefano Pioli's squad went through the first half without a goal, the nightmare seemed to be long.

Starting from Samu Castillejo's free kick, Milan finally scored a goal through Rafael Leao when the second half had only been running for one minute. His shot that touched Cagliari defender Fabio Pisacane was not saved by goalkeeper Robin Olsen.

Cagliari tried to retaliate. Giovanni Simeone's header and Paolo Farago's volley were still far from the target. On the other hand, Milan was able to increase their advantage.

In the 64th minute, Ibrahimovic doubled his team's lead with an accurate left-footed shot from Theo Hernandez's sweet cross. This goal at the same time increased Cagliari's defeat to four consecutive times.

Ibrahimovic actually added one more goal when his measured header slammed into the bottom corner of the home side's goal in the 82nd minute. But the referee annulled it because the former LA Galaxy player was caught offside.

For Ibra, this is his 57th goal in 87 appearances for Diavolo. Or, the first goal since the brace he scored against Inter Milan on 6 May 2012.
