At San Siro Milan hosted Sassuolo in the final match for both teams in 2023, marking the 18th round of Serie A.
The favorites dominated significantly in the first half of the game but struggled to breach the visitors' defense. Despite the ball finding the net twice courtesy of Bennacer and Leao, both goals were disallowed due to offside positions.
Towards the hour mark, Pulisic scored a completely legitimate goal, putting the Rossoneri ahead. Bennacer provided the assist. No further goals graced this match, as the spectators were left without additional scoring. The hosts comfortably navigated the game to secure the victory.
Pioli's side concluded the year in third place in the Serie A table, amassing 36 points. On January 2nd, the red and blacks will face Cagliari in the Coppa Italia.
Sassuolo sits in 16th place, continuing the fight to avoid relegation. Interestingly, the black and greens have yet to keep a clean sheet in the current Serie A campaign, conceding in every one of the 18 rounds.
