Late comback by Lecce deny Milan top spot
Pato came on at the 75th minute and instantly helped Ronadinho score Milan’s first goal. It looked like Milan was going to win the game until Lecce cancelled the first goal with a late header by Andrea Esposito.
Boriello had a lot of chances but seem to spray every strike over the crossbar. Ancelotti should have made a change earlier in the game but waited till the 75th and 80th minute to bring on Pato and Inzaghi for Flamini and Ronaldinho.
Milan’s defense did not have to work hard but when they did they failed and Esposito was able to head the ball pass Abbiati. It was another frustrating game to watch as Milan were not able to find the net and when they did it was sloppy.
Inter have regain the top spot from AC Milan and they too were lucky to win as a late goal Cruz gave them a 1-0 win against Udinese.
Milan face Chievo Verona next Sunday.
