Milan cannot afford to lose more points if they want to battle for the Scudetto. Lecce and Milan ended the Serie A Week 12 game with a draw on Saturday 11 November 2023 at the Via del Mare Stadium in Lecce, Italy. The winless streak continues for both teams but, given how the match was going, today’s result should be considered very positive for Lecce who are once again moving up their rankings, rising to 14. However, extremely negative feelings for Milan was unable to manage the double advantage obtained in the first half and almost lost the game.

This time it is the Giallorossi who overtake the Rossoneri after the first half ended by two goals. Sansone closed the gap in the 66th minute with his left foot under the crossbar from a few steps away, with Milan conceding a goal very similar to the one conceded against PSG, and Banda completed the comeback by chilling Maignan with a left-footed shot from inside the area. Milan runs out of fuel and risks being mocked twice, first with Sansone’s header on the post, then with Piccoli’s goal, which was however annulled after the intervention of the VAR which highlighted a foul by the former Empoli player on Thiaw, shortly after the red card received by Giroud for protests.

AC Milan opened the score in the 28th minute. It is French forward Olivier Giroud to defeat Lecce goalkeeper Wladimiro Falcone from very close range to the center. The assist is by Théo Hernández. Great way to celebrate his 100th appearance with Milan.
