AC Milan's Zlatan Ibrahimovic marked his return to the club with a goal in a 2-0 league win over Cagliari on Saturday.

The 38-year-old Swede, who had rejoined AC Milan after an eight-year absence, scored his first goal for the club since May 2012.

He met a cross from Theo Hernandez with a low-first time shot into the far corner after 64 minutes, securing his first Milan goal since leaving the club for Paris Saint-Germain eight years ago.

Portuguese forward Rafael Leao, 20, had struck the opener just after the break as Milan got their first win in just over a month.

AC Milan move up to eighth in the Serie A table, 10 points off the Champions League berths.

It was a disappointing performance for Cagliari as the Sardinians unveiled the new jersey to mark the 100th anniversary of the club this year.

Cagliari remain sixth after their fourth consecutive defeat.
