AC Milan Secures First Serie A Win with 2-0 Lecce Victory

AC Milan secured their first Serie A victory of the 2025 season with a 2-0 win over Lecce, bouncing back from an opening day loss to Cremonese. Goals from Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christian Pulisic sealed the win despite Milan having two earlier goals disallowed by VAR, including one by Matteo Gabbia for a push and another offside goal by Santiago Giménez. The match was tactically cautious in the first half, with limited scoring opportunities and a slow pace, but Milan grew into the game after halftime, shifting to a more assertive counter-attacking style. Lecce, who had not conceded a goal before this match, struggled offensively, failing to register a shot on target in the first three halves of the season until the second half. Substitute Christian Pulisic continued his strong form against Lecce by scoring his fifth goal in four games against the club. Milan’s coach Massimiliano Allegri, returning to the club, got his first win in this stint, maintaining faith in his squad while the team looks ahead to their next fixture against Bologna.
