Christian Pulisic scores in the victory against AC Milan and now they are leaders in Italy

AC Milan suffered greatly by defeating Genoa in a match where both teams ended up with a player sent off. The American player was not a starter in the Italy match, but he came on and ended up giving the victory to his club, who with this victory and the tie for Inter Milan, are now the new leaders of Serie A. The Rossoneri club made a Good game, although there was a lack of lucidity in attack. Now, the club is already at the top of the competition.

It didn't sit well with Milan to rest their entire attack: neither Pulisic, nor Giroud... nor Rafa Leao. Jovic did not take advantage of his first start and Chukwueze, who cost almost 30 million euros, has not yet presented his credentials at San Siro. Pioli tried things but neither 'plan A' nor 'plan B' seemed to work. He brought on Okafor and Chukwueze at half-time to bring on Pulisic and Leao. The Portuguese had his chances... but Josep Martínez was inspired. Spanish continues at a good level at the beginning of the course.

In the second half, the Rossoneri continued to press against the rival goal, and until the 81st minute, with the help of Christian Pulisic, AC Milan took the lead on the scoreboard, because after receiving the ball inside the area he controlled the ball and with a shot he beat the rival goalkeeper. Pulisic took advantage of a cross from the right and created a great goal. The VAR reviewed a possible handball in the control but the goal was valid.

Giroud ended up as AC Milan goalkeeper after Maignan was sent off

When the game was in the final stretch, both teams suffered the expulsion of their goalkeepers, as Mike Maignan saw a straight red card in stoppage time, while Josep Martínez was cautioned with a double yellow. The expulsion of the French goalkeeper came at a time in the game when the Italian club had no more substitutions and therefore, Oliver Giroud put on the gloves and ended up as goalkeeper. With this result, AC Milan is the leader of Serie A with 21 points, while Genoa is in 15th place with eight points achieved in the tournament.
