AC Milan scored a second and third goal in quick succession to put the Coppa Italia tie against Lecce to bed.
Christopher Nkunku had blazed a good chance over minutes prior, but more than made up for it in the 51st minute with his first Milan goal. A corner was taken short to Saelemaekers, who curled a cross to the far stick where the Frenchman was waiting to scissor kick into the back of the net.

It did not take long for Pulisic to make his mark, as he scored four minutes after coming off the bench. The American ghosted in at the far post to meet a cross from Fofana, providing a lovely first-time finish inside the post with what looked like a flick.
