AC Milan Secures First Serie A Win With Pulisic Goal

Christian Pulisic returned to the U.S. men's national team in strong form after scoring his first Serie A goal of the season for AC Milan in their 2-0 victory over Lecce. Pulisic came off the bench and capitalized on a defensive error to score late in the match, sealing the win following Ruben Loftus-Cheek's earlier header assisted by Luka Modrić, who recently joined Milan from Real Madrid. This win marked AC Milan's first league victory of the season and Massimiliano Allegri's first since his return to the club. Pulisic's performance was particularly notable as he had missed the Gold Cup but was called back to prepare for friendlies against Korea Republic and Japan ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Meanwhile, Lecce continues to struggle, having gone four games without scoring this season. The contributions from new signings and key players like Pulisic will be crucial for Milan's aspirations in Serie A this season.
