Milan does not discuss qualification for the Cup, Leao and Pulisic ensure

Milan have secured their place in the last 16 of the Coppa Italia after beating Bari 2-0 at the San Siro. The red and black team took the lead in the 14th minute, when Rafael Leao headed home a cross from the right. Just a few minutes later, the Portuguese was forced off the pitch with a muscle problem and was replaced by Gimenez. In the first half, Pulisic had the chance to double his tally, but it hit the crossbar, while goalkeeper Menjo was careful to keep out Sibilli's long-range effort for the visitors.

With the start of the second half, Milan immediately found the second goal. In the 48th minute, after a combination between Gimenez and Pulisic, the American striker managed to score for 2-0, making the home team's advantage more secure. Bari had a good chance to narrow the gap in the 61st minute, but Monchini failed to capitalize on a misplaced pass in the red and black defense.

In the 66th minute, “San Siro” stood up for the debut of Luka Modric, who came on for Riç. The Croatian immediately tried a shot from outside the area, but without any concrete result. In the following match, Milan managed the pace and possession of the ball, not allowing Bari to create any great danger. After four minutes of extra time, the challenge ended with a score of 2-0, which gave the Rossoneri passage to the next round.

In the 1/16th of the Italian Cup, Milan will face Lecce, the team that eliminated Juve Stabia in the previous round.
