U.S. international Christian Pulisic showed AC Milan just how much they've missed him, drawing and converting a penalty to spark a rally for his club against Juventus in the Supercoppa Italiana.
With Milan trailing after a strike from Kenan Yıldız in the 21st minute, Pulisic would find a way to respond in the second half. The American winger would dribble into the box before being fouled. He stepped up and cleanly converted the penalty.
Moments later, his national teammate Yunus Musah would charge up the pitch and try to find Alvaro Morata in the box with a cross. The ball took a deflection off a Juventus defender and go into net, giving Milan a 2-1 lead.
