Before the match that day, I cleared my schedule so I could watch the game properly. I turned on my old laptop, which had a slightly flickering screen but was still usable. I created a new document and titled it “Lecce vs Milan, February 2024,” ready to take notes as I watched.
I also opened two web pages: one for the live broadcast and one for the real-time score app, so I wouldn’t miss any important information.
Less than three minutes into the game, Milan launched a fierce attack. Theo Hernandez rushed up from the left and took a shot, but the goalkeeper saved it. I quickly wrote down: “In the 3rd minute, Milan’s shot was on target but was saved.” That shot almost scored, and my heart raced.
Lecce didn’t rush to counterattack, but instead stabilized their formation and waited for their chance.
Around the 30th minute, Milan sent in a cross, and Leon almost scored. But the replay showed that he was offside. I got distracted and looked at the chat to see what people were saying, and missed a counterattack by Lecce.
I quickly added: “In the 31st minute, Lecce broke through on the right and sent a cross that was blocked by a defender.” Although it didn’t go in, it was a very dangerous attack.
At the start of the second half, in the 55th minute, Milan took a corner kick and Giroud jumped high above the crowd and headed the ball into the net. 1-0!I quickly wrote down: “In the 55th minute, Giroud scored, assisted by Theo’s corner kick.”
I looked back to confirm the score on the app, and the time was correct. At that moment, it felt like Milan had taken control of the game.
In the 67th minute, the game suddenly took a turn.Lecce player Dorgu made a tackle in midfield, directly kicking his opponent’s calf, and the referee did not hesitate to pull out a red card.
I wrote: “In the 67th minute, Dorgu was sent off, and Lecce was down to 10 men.” This completely changed the rhythm of the game, and Milan began to press forward.
In the 73rd minute, something unexpected happened. Lecce was awarded a penalty kick. The first attempt was saved by Maignan, but the ball didn’t go out of bounds and bounced back. Krsztikovic charged forward and scored with a follow-up shot! 1-1!
I excitedly wrote: “In the 73rd minute, Lecce scores! The penalty kick is converted!” Despite being a man down, they didn’t give up.
In the 83rd minute, Milan counterattacked. Leão got the ball in midfield, dribbled past two defenders, suddenly accelerated, slipped between them, and finally beat the goalkeeper to score. 2-1!
I shouted out loud, “That was amazing!” I watched the slow-motion replay ten times and still couldn’t get enough. That shot was a complete display of individual skill.
In the final stages, Lecce fought desperately. They brought on all their substitutes, and even the goalkeeper was almost at the front of the field. They used every trick in the book: corner kicks, long shots, headers.
Milan continued to counterattack and almost scored another goal. I kept taking notes: “In the 87th minute, Lecce’s corner kick was cleared.” “In the 89th minute, Milan’s counterattack was disrupted.”
I didn’t breathe a sigh of relief until the final whistle blew.
After the game, I started organizing my notes. I checked the time of each goal, red card, and substitution. I also checked the Sofascore data and added some details.
For example: Milan had 632 passes and 61% possession. Lecce only had 39% possession, but they had 14 shots, just one less than Milan.
What impressed me the most was that Lecce didn’t collapse after being reduced to ten men; instead, they equalized. This shows that they have strong willpower and execute their tactics well.
Although they lost in the end, their performance deserves respect.
Leon’s statistics weren’t the most impressive in the game, but he scored the most crucial goal. That long run showed his speed, skill, and composure.
He doesn’t shine in every game, but in this one, he was Milan’s biggest contributor to the win.
Although they won, Milan also had problems. After being equalized, they clearly panicked, made more passing mistakes, and their defense loosened up.
If it weren’t for Leon stepping up, they might have had to settle for a draw. This shows that the team’s stability under pressure still needs to be improved.

This match was full of drama from start to finish.
