The match began unfavorably for the Rossoneri, as Lecce capitalized on defensive lapses to establish a 2-0 lead. However, the introduction of Rafael Leão at the start of the second half injected much-needed dynamism into Milan's attack. Leão's influence was immediate, playing a pivotal role in the own goal by Lecce's Antonino Gallo, which reduced the deficit.
Christian Pulisic emerged as the standout performer, delivering a decisive brace. He first converted a penalty in the 73rd minute and later secured the victory with a well-placed finish in the 81st minute, assisted by Leão. Pulisic's contributions were instrumental in shifting the momentum in Milan's favor.
This triumph not only showcased Milan's resilience but also marked a significant milestone—their 1,500th win in Serie A history, making them only the third club to achieve this feat.
