Milan-Lecce ended with the Rossoneri's fifth consecutive victory. A clear 3-0 that left no room for the team from Salento, but gave way to controversies not only among the fans from Puglia, but also the management. At the 57th minute, Leao scored the goal that definitively closed the match. The goal did not please Sticchi Damiani, president of the Giallorossi, who stood up clapping at referee Massimi in a controversial manner. After his protest, the Lecce's number one left the stands.
Milan, 3-0 against Lecce and fifth consecutive victory: Pulisic, Giroud, and Leao score
What Happened
Just before the Portuguese's offensive action, Almqvist had been brought down in the Milan area by a blow to the head. The referee did not see the foul and let play continue, with VAR not calling the referee's attention to it. The action then culminated with Leao's goal and Sticchi Damiani's applause, who did not appreciate the referee's decision. The players on the field immediately went to ask for explanations and from the images, it can be seen how Theo Hernandez accidentally hits the offensive winger in the head.
