Lecce and Milan finished 2-2 at Stadio Via del Mare as Milan had 2 2-goal lead but almost lost after the home team netted 3 goals in the 2nd half, but VAR ruled out their 3rd goal in the 94th minute.

Olivier Giroud netted the 1st goal in the match in the 28th minute after Theo Hernandez’s assist, and only 7 minutes later, Tijjani Reijnders doubled Rossoneri’s lead after Samuel Chukwueze’s pass.

However, Lecce declined to give up, shocking the away side with a comeback. Nicola Sansone made Milan’s lead only 1 goal with his goal after Alexis Blin’s assist. In the 70th minute, Lameck Banda netted after Nicola Sansone’s assist to tie the clash 2-2.

In the extra time, Olivier Giroud received 2 yellow cards and was sent off, and after that, Lecce scored to make it 3-2, but VAR disallowed Roberto Piccoli’s goal due to a foul.
