Ramos strikes as AC Milan beat Venezia

ROME, AUG 29: Star signing Goncalo Ramos scored with a flashing drive from a tight angle for his first Serie A goal as AC Milan beat Venezia 2-0 at the San Siro on Friday.

Milan spent 74 million euros ($86 million) to acquire Ramos from Paris Saint-Germain and the Portuguese delivered a goal to treasure on 69 minutes before a late own goal from Redouane Halhal settled the game.

"The most important thing isn't my goal, it's the win," Ramos said. "I should have scored more than one goal tonight."

Milan opened the season with a 2-1 win away at Torino, making Friday's encounter their first home game since Franco Baresi died, with homage paid to their former skipper ahead of kick-off.

New boss Ruben Amorim watched his big close-season signing Ramos fluff a first minute effort that came at him too close to his feet, but his opener from the left of the box lifted the home crowd as the striker reeled away in joy.

"We're starting to show this team's DNA and mindset; I already feel right at home in this group," said Ramos.    �"AFP
