However, Pulisic delivered the equalizing goal four minutes later to get Paulo Fonseca’s squad back into the match. Hernandez’s cross from the left wing was flicked back across De Gea’s net for a 1-1 scoreline.

Fiorentina eventually regained its lead in the 73rd minute through Albert Gudmundsson’s go-ahead finish.

Pulisic was substituted off in the 83rd minute, finishing the match with the most offensive chances created (3).

AC Milan could not find a tying goal for the second time, suffering its second league defeat of the season. The Rossoneri will head into the international break, sitting sixth place in the Serie A table.

Pulisic will join up with his USMNT teammates for their first camp under new boss Mauricio Pochettino. The USMNT hosts Panama on October 12 before visiting Mexico on October. 15.
