João Félix made a dream debut for AC Milan, scoring a crucial goal to help his team ease into the Coppa Italia semi-finals with a 3-1 win over AS Roma. Félix's goal in the 72nd minute sealed the victory for Milan, who had taken a 2-0 lead through Tammy Abraham's double in the first half.
Abraham opened the scoring with a magnificent looping header in the 16th minute, and he doubled Milan's lead just before halftime with a calm finish past the goalkeeper. Roma pulled a goal back in the 54th minute through Artem Dovbyk, but Félix's debut goal ensured that Milan would progress to the semi-finals.
Félix's move to Milan was finalized recently, with the Portuguese forward joining the Rossoneri on loan from Chelsea until the end of the season. The 24-year-old had struggled to make an impact at Chelsea, but he is already making waves in Italy with his impressive debut performance.
Milan's coach, Stefano Pioli, was full of praise for Félix after the match. "João is a player with great quality and technique," Pioli said. "He has already shown his ability to make a difference in the team. We are very happy to have him with us."
Félix's debut goal was a moment of individual brilliance, as he collected a pass on the edge of the box, turned his marker, and fired a low shot into the corner of the net. The goal sparked wild celebrations among the Milan players and fans, and it capped off an impressive debut performance from the Portuguese forward.
The win sets up a Coppa Italia semi-final clash between Milan and Inter Milan, with the first leg scheduled to take place at the San Siro next month. Milan will be looking to make a deep run in the competition, and Félix's addition to the squad could be a crucial factor in their quest for glory.
