Christian Pulisic is becoming a folk hero for AC Milan fans, after the U.S. star scored in the 80th minute to tie the Italian Super Cup match against rivals Inter Milan, en route to a 3-2 win. It is AC Milan's first Super Cup victory since 2016.
The match, played in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, looked dim for the Rossoneri after Inter went up 2-0, scoring in injury time in the first half, then less than two minutes into the second half. Théo Hernandez got one back inthe 52nd minute, then Pulisic's heroics set up Tammy Abraham for the game-winner in injury time.
Pulisic just returned from calf and ankle injuries, scoring on a penalty in his first match back Friday, then again Monday night. He has 10 goals and 6 assists in 22 appearances across all competitions for AC Milan this season.
Good to see him back on form so quickly after the injury. Better news for the USMNT.
