In just eleven minutes, Milan turned around a 2-0 deficit and, with a brace from Christian Pulisic, secured a crucial 2-3 victory against Lecce. This incredible turnaround occurred between the 69th and 81st minutes, when Milan was on the verge of a deeper crisis after a series of poor results. With this balsamic victory, Sergio Conceiçao's team distanced itself from immediate concerns and revived its European aspirations.

The match began with Lecce taking full advantage of their opportunities. Six minutes in, Nikola Krstovic stunned with a magnificent strike from outside the box to put his team ahead. However, Milan showed signs of life, but their efforts went in vain as VAR ruled out two goals, one from Matteo Gabbia and another from Mexican Santiago Giménez, both for offside. Despite these setbacks, Milan didn't give up.

Conceiçao's team came out in the second half determined to make an impact. Rafael Leao entered the field to change the course of the match, but Krstovic scored his second goal in the 55th minute, making it 2-0 and seemingly putting Milan's task out of reach. It was then that the coach reacted by bringing on Joao Félix, who, although not directly involved in the scoring, played a key role in the comeback by generating the own goal from Antonino Gallo.

With the score at 2-1, Milan clung to hope. And Pulisic, who had already shown flashes of his quality, became the true savior. The American equalized the match with a penalty he had earned, showing great composure under pressure. But the comeback didn’t stop there, as Pulisic scored again, this time after a sublime cross from Leao, sealing the turnaround in just eleven minutes.

Milan's victory not only gave the team a much-needed breath of fresh air, but it also dealt a huge blow to Lecce’s morale as they watched a nearly certain win slip away. With the scoreline in their favor, Milan held firm during the final minutes and secured a 2-3 win that breathed life into their European hopes. The comeback, orchestrated by Pulisic, was a clear reminder of the team’s fighting spirit.

With this win, Milan stays in the race for European spots and heads into the next fixture with renewed optimism. With a spot in the Copa's quarterfinals on the line and the hope of overcoming the hurdles that have marked their season, the team clings to the epic comeback against Lecce as a turning point in their campaign. Meanwhile, Pulisic and company continue to dream of Europe, with their eyes on what’s still to come this season.
