“We are Milan, for us this match was very important, because we had dropped points in recent matches.”
Milan later tweeted that Leão’s goal came after precisely 6.2 seconds.
Hakan Çalhanoğlu surged forward from kickoff and threaded the ball through to Leão, who fired it into the back of the net.
Serie A leader Milan remains one point ahead of second-place Inter Milan, which also won 2-1 — against Spezia.
