Milan ahead in Italian Cup, Leao scores but gets hurt
Round 2-0 for Milan in the 32nd round of the Coppa Italia, with the Rossoneri winning 2-0 at the San Siro against Bari, thus gaining a pass to the round of 16 where they will face another Apulian side, Lecce.
It took the Diavolo a quarter of an hour to break the deadlock, with Leao framing a header from the front to score the 1-0, only to come off owing to calf pain that could force him to skip the league opener with Cremonese.
The crossbar then denied Pulisic the joy of doubling the score, but in the opening minutes of the second half he made up for it by sealing the score with a double.
In the final period there was also room for the official debut of several new signings, including Luka Modric, who showed off with a couple of nice plays.
In the day’s other matches, Frosinone won 1-0 over Monza, Parma settled Pescara 2-0 while Pisa needed penalty kicks to eliminate Cesena away.
