AC Milan secured a vital 2-0 victory over Empoli, with Rafael Leão breaking the deadlock in the 68th minute with a header, followed by Santiago Gimenez‘s second goal in the 76th minute, both assisted by Christian Pulisic. This solid performance strengthens AC Milan’s position in the standings. Here are the key statistics from the match:

1- Santiago Gimenez became the first Mexican player to score for AC Milan in Serie A history; overall, the third in the top league (after Hirving Lozano and Johan Vásquez).

2- All five of Rafael Leão‘s goals this Serie A season have been scored away; among players who have scored all their goals away from home this season, none have as many as the Portuguese.

3- Christian Pulisic provided two assists in a single Serie A match for the first time in the top league.

4- AC Milan has kept a clean sheet in their last five league games against Empoli, only against Pisa do they have an equally long open streak of consecutive clean sheets in Serie A (five between 1988 and 1991).
