Good evening and welcome to the Football Italia Liveblog for coverage of this evening’s Coppa Italia second round clash between Milan and Lecce in San Siro.

Kick-off is scheduled for 20.00 BST.

Milan are coming in off the back of a 2-0 win over Bari in the first round, which was Max Allegri’s first competitive match back in charge of the Rossoneri.

Lecce, meanwhile, qualified after a 2-0 victory over Juve Stabia in August.

The winner of this evening’s tie will go on to face Lazio in the third round (round of 16) on December 3.

Half-time: Milan 1-0 Lecce

Just the one goal for Milan, who have been playing against 10 men since the 18th minute. The Rossoneri have struck the woodwork twice and have dominated in terms of possession and shots on target.

Milan 1-0 Lecce - Gimenez!

Finally, one goes in for the Mexican! A repeat of an earlier move: Bartesaghi bursts down the left flank and provides a wicked, low cross in for Gimenez, who slams home on his first touch.

Siebert could be in trouble. This yellow cars might be upgraded for the denial of a clear and obvious goalscoring opportunity. Referee going over to the screen …

16'

Siebert is booked for a foul on Nkunku on the edge of the area. No advantage, Gimenez was through one-on-one immediately afterwards. The Mexican shot anyway, but was off target.

Nkunku off the post!

Milan have done everything but put the ball in the back of the net. Ricci’s corner looked to have come to nothing, an alert Rabiot keeps the ball in play, hooks a cross over to Nkunku, who hits the outside of the post from inside the six-yard box.

2025-09-23 20:12:52

Another big save from Fruchtl! Gimenez does very well to slip Rabiot in. The Frenchman carries the ball into the area but is denied by the German one-on-one.

Bartesaghi provides a brilliant ball into the middle for Gimenez, but the Mexican can’t steer it on target. He should have done a bit better there.

Bartesaghi’s corner goes all the way over to Nkunku on the far side. The Frenchman puts the ball back in for Gimenez, who heads over.

2025-09-23 20:05:46

2'

An early double-chance for Gimenez and Loftus-Cheek after a neat exchange between the Englishman and Saelemaekers. Fruchtl comes out well to deny Gimenez, and Loftus-Cheek’s follow-up is turned behind for a corner.
