Milan cruise past Lecce with second-half surge
AC Milan eased to a 3-0 win over Lecce in Serie A's fifth round, moving to fifth in the table as Ruben Amorim's side controlled proceedings from the first whistle. Christian Pulišić opened the scoring in the 14th minute, converting an assist from Strahinja Pavlović to give the hosts a lead they never relinquished heading into the break.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Lecce, managed by Eusebio Di Francesco, could not find a foothold after the interval as Milan extended their advantage. Adrien Rabiot doubled the lead in the 61st minute, finishing off a Gonçalo Ramos assist, before Diego Moreira added a third in the 73rd minute to put the result beyond doubt.
Milan dominated territory throughout, holding 69 percent of possession and registering 10 shots to Lecce's 6, with four efforts on target compared to three for the visitors.

Pavlović was central to Milan's opening breakthrough, setting up Pulišić's goal and finishing with the highest rating on the pitch at 8.13.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave AC Milan 66%, the draw 22%, Lecce 12%. It finished AC Milan 3–0 Lecce.
AC Milan's rating gap decides it — AC Milan are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of AC Milan's 66%. The draw at 22% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why AC Milan at 66%?
AC Milan sit 285 points higher on our strength rating — 1922 to 1636. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge at home won 67.0% of 6,009 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 71–18–11.
Why only 66%?
Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims AC Milan's column. Across 11,218 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.7% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.0 — negative in every season since 2018. Serie A home sides under-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to the other outcomes. Serie A homes won 43.3% of 6,126 games vs 44.9% across all 100,474 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why is the draw only 22%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 18.1%. These teams' recent games average 2.5 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,886. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw. Serie A runs draw-heavy, adding 1.0 points.
What did we measure but not count?
AC Milan have averaged 12 percentage points more possession than Lecce in recent games. That doesn’t change our forecast here. AC Milan have won their last 5 home meetings with Lecce.

Across 4,925 historical matches following at least three consecutive home wins against the same opponent, hosts won 58.8%, compared with 58.4% expected from team strength. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
