Christian Pulisic lifted his first trophy for AC Milan, when once he returned, he led a bout that saw his looks come from and beat opponents 3-2 in the Italian Super Cup final.
It was a suitably dramatic end to a game in which Milan was in another act of Pulisic salvation at the same al-Awal Stadium on Friday. In the semi-finals, he helped them beat Weston McKennie and Tim Weah’s Juventus 2. -1 with some other equalizer, before compatriot Yunus Musah forced the very purpose that gave them the victory.
But Pulisic stockpiled his for Monday’s finale opposite the third-place Serie A side, while Milan have lately languished in eighth place after a separate patch that saw Paulo Fonseca throw and Sergio Concicao named the manager last week.
Things looked bleak for the new guy with Inter leading up to the centrepiece final, however, France defender Theo Hernandez brought home a 52-minute purpose before the glorious circular and finished with 10 minutes of time.
For the new boss Concicao, that wins over Juventus and Inter in his first two games in charge.
Limiting 76 times through the USMNT, he recorded two goals and two assists in 3 appearances, new head coach Mauricio Pochettino.
