Milan's victory was made easier as Krstovic received a red card for Lecce. To seal the deal, Leao scored the third goal in the 57th minute. Following this win, the Rossoneri narrowed the gap with league leaders Inter to 11 points, with one more match played.
Regarding Lecce, Ylber Ramadani was notable from the start, earning high marks in this encounter. Meanwhile, Italian media had been reporting for several days that Lecce's new coach has a fondness for the captain of Albania's U-21 team, Medon Berisha. Berisha had been consistently called up for Lecce's matches in Serie A but had hardly been given any playing time under D'Aversa. In today's match, Berisha was immediately activated by the new coach Goti against Milan, entering the field in the 78th minute.
