Two goals voided, two goals conceded, two goals down, with just half an hour left on the clock, and it ended with three points for AC Milan at Lecce on Saturday night despite all those things mentioned above.Sergio Conceicao’s crazy gang survived and prevailed in this bizarre and frantic Serie A game, just as their head coach, who could have been fired if the outcome was different.##NAJAVA_MECA_8763458##A miraculous comeback that lasted for about 13 minutes saved both the Rossonerri and their nervous coach. Lecce, on the other hand, have a lot to think about and regret as they were on the verge of a serious upset and the first victory over the giants in the last 20 years.Milan put an end to their winless streak after an epic comeback from two goals down against Lecce 👏🔴⚫️ pic.twitter.com/3p1ylC9QrT— OneFootball (@OneFootball) March 8, 2025 It started spectacularly for the visitors as they netted through Gimenez within the opening minute, but it was voided after a VAR review. Instead of staying on that wave, the Rossonerri conceded as Krstovic fired powerfully to break the deadlock in the seventh minute.Gabbia celebrated ecstatically, thinking he annulled the lead ten minutes later, but – believe it or not – it was just another one disallowed Milan’s goal due to offside.Gimenez was eager to put his name on the scoresheet, finding himself in several other chances as the ball ended on a woodwork or in the hands of Lecce’s keeper.⚽️ GOAL: Krstović🇮🇹 Lecce 1-0 Milanpic.twitter.com/p1x2jRf2pN— Goals Xtra (@GoalsXtra) March 8, 2025 The home side’s hero, Krstovic, made his presence visible again after the break, putting his team 2-0 up with the Rossonerri being pushed with their backs to the wall. It seemed like Sergio Conceicao was counting down the minutes until his sacking, but his guardian angel pulled him from the abyss.Between the 68th and 81st minute, his slot scored three goals to turn the game upside down on the wings of his super-subs Joao Felix and Rafael Leao. And Christian Pulisic, of course.Felix reduced the gap to Lecce with a sensational amount of luck, as his awful effort deflected off defender Gallo to end in the back of the net.⚽️ GOAL: Pulisic (2)🇮🇹 Lecce 2-3 Milanpic.twitter.com/Xa3ZYsc2Lx— Goals Xtra (@GoalsXtra) March 8, 2025 Pulisic was taken down in the box five minutes later, and the former Chelsea star converted it from the spot to level the score. It was just a prelude to his second goal of the game, this time coming from Rafael Leao’s lovely assist to the far post, where the US international headed it home for the win.SERIE A – MATCHDAY 28FridayCagliari – Genoa 1-1 (1-0)/Viola 18 – Cornet 47/SaturdayComo – Venezia 1-1 (0-0)/Ikone 49 – Gytkjaer 90+5 pen/Parma – Torino 2-2 (0-1)/Pellegrino 60,82 – Elmas 19, Adams 72/Lecce – Milan 2-3 (1-0)/Krstovic 7,59 – Gallo 68 og, Pulisic 73 pen, Pulisic 81/22:45: (1.13) Inter (8.50) Monza (19.0)Sunday14:30: (5.00) Verona (3.50) Bologna (1.85)17:00: (1.62) Napoli (3.80) Fiorentina (6.75)20:00: (3.90) Empoli (3.40) Roma (2.00)22:45: (2.50) Juventus (3.40) Atalanta (3.00)Monday22:45: (1.75) Lazio (3.75) Udinese (5.20)***odds are subject to change***
