Match Overview

AC Milan returned to winning ways last night at the San Siro with a commanding 3-0 triumph over Lecce, notching back-to-back Serie A home victories for only the second time in 2026. This result also preserves their impeccable recent record against Lecce, recording a sixth straight league success in this head-to-head.

First Half: Fast Start Sets the Tone

Following a disappointing run at home with four losses in their previous six matches in all competitions, Milan started purposefully. The hosts pressed from the outset and found the opener in the 14th minute. Strahinja Pavlovic delivered a precise ball over the top, expertly controlled by Christian Pulisic, who calmly slotted past Wladimiro Falcone to put the Rossoneri ahead.

Milan continued to dominate proceedings, with Lecce struggling to threaten and remaining winless in competitive encounters against Milan since 2006. The home side pushed to extend their lead before the break: Koni De Winter missed a close-range header and Falcone produced a sharp save to deny Pavlovic, ensuring the score remained 1-0 at half-time.

Second Half: Milan Seal the Points

Resuming the second period on the front foot, Ruben Amorim’s team increased their advantage in the 61st minute. A dynamic move between Adrien Rabiot and Goncalo Ramos culminated in Rabiot sweeping home, bagging his second Serie A goal of the campaign.

Pervis Estupinan nearly added a third with an energetic surge, only to be denied, but Milan were not to be denied a more emphatic scoreline. Substitute Diego Moreira, signed for a significant fee in the summer, cut inside Jamil Siebert and finished confidently beneath Falcone, registering his third league goal in just two games.

Final Stages and Player Honours

While Lecce managed to prevent further goals in the closing minutes, Milan were largely untroubled as they collected a crucial three points, ending a run of three matches without a win in all competitions prior to the long international break.
