"Pulisic scored after Lecce center back Jamil Siebert was sent off for a foul on Nkunku. Pulisic has now scored 14 goals with AC Milan across all competitions since the start of 2025, the most by any player on the team. The United States forward has also now scored in consecutive Coppa Italia appearances after going scoreless in the first seven games of the competition."
"Gimenez scored his first goal in five career Coppa games. He also has six goals in 16 career domestic cup matches (Copa MX, KNVB Beker, Coppa Italia). Before this goal with Milan on Tuesday, Gimenez had missed nine big chances this season across all competitions. With the goal he snapped a six-game scoreless streak with Milan in all competitions. His last time scoring was a brace on May 9."
AC Milan defeated 10-man Lecce 3-0 to advance to the Coppa Italia round of 16. Santiago Gimenez opened the scoring in the 20th minute with a one-touch finish from a Davide Bartesaghi setup. Christopher Nkunku added a second after the break with an acrobatic close-range effort, his first since joining from Chelsea. Christian Pulisic scored after a Lecce red card and redirected a cross after coming off the bench, marking his 14th goal for Milan since early 2025 and his third goal in two matches. Milan will face Lazio next. Udinese beat Palermo 2-1 and Cagliari beat Frosinone 4-1.
