After a ferocious strike from the penalty spot, Christian Pulisic scored the equalizer for AC Milan against Juventus in Italy Supercoppa.
Trailing 1-0, USMNT star Christian Pulisic stepped up in a high-pressure moment to equalize for AC Milan in the Italy Supercoppa semifinal against Juventus. The forward confidently converted a penalty, keeping Milan's hopes alive in the clash.
Juventus took the lead in the 21st minute through Kenan Yildiz, putting Milan on the back foot for the remainder of the first half. Struggling to find opportunities, Il Rossonero emerged more determined in the second half, eventually earning a penalty kick that shifted the game's momentum.
The decisive moment came when Theo Hernandez made a surging run into the box, only to be stopped by Nicolo Savona. In the ensuing scramble, Pulisic latched onto the loose ball but was brought down by Manuel Locatelli, prompting the referee to point to the spot.
Pulisic immediately claimed the ball and took responsibility for the penalty. With a powerful strike down the middle, goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio couldn't contain the ferocious strike and brought Milan level, marking the first goal of the Sergio Conceicao era.
