Balotelli came on as a substitute in the friendly with AC Milan already 5-0 up.
It took the Italian just 12 minutes to net his first goal for the Rossoneri, rounding the keeper before slotting home.
The controversial striker also set up a further two goals, both for strike partner Stephan El Shaarawy, as Milan romped to a convincing 10-0 win over their opponents who play in Italy's equivalent of the Blue Square Bet Conference.
