The Pressure Was On
The Serie A championship is still close with AC Milan vs Lecce finishing in an important 1-0 win of the Rossoneri at the San Siro. As the leaders of the league Inter Milan won 1-0 against Udinese away and Napoli won against Sassuola earlier that day, the pressure was put squarely on the side of Massimiliano Allegri.
As a result, success was not possible. Milan would have been at least five points behind had it been a draw or lost. Nevertheless, they maintained their composure to earn the three points to make the distance between them and the summit only 3 points.
Super Sub Strikes
The game started with Milan taking the front foot, and going through with wave after wave of attack. Although it was the most powerful, forwards Christian Pulisic, and Rafael Leao could not score the back of the net and the game was even heading to a frustrating draw.
- The Stalemate: Milan had spent more than an hour in vain attempts to snap the stalemate and revived memories of lost points against Cremonese and Pisa earlier in the season.
- The Change (Sub): Allegri was also decisive in the second half, bringing in Niclas Füllkrug to bring physical presence to the attack.
- The Winner (Goal): This replacement was an immediate success. Fullkrug received a cross three minutes after his entry into the pitch and Ideally, he drove a header into the net to give his team the 1-0 victory.
A Four-Horse Race
The win of AC Milan vs Lecce holds the Rossoneri on the second place. In the meantime, AS Roma has become the hidden horse of the season. Capital club triumphed over Torino by 2 goals to 0, to overtake Juventus at position four, which implied that the top four clubs won during the weekend.
According to the NOVA88 Sport News analysts, Inter Milan is still the favourite though there is one clear setback. Inter has to overcome the knockout round of the champions league unlike Milan whose attention can only be on the league. Should Inter lose points through the European distractions.
