AC Milan achieved a great victory against Genoa in a match where everything was decided at the end with a goal from Pulisic. The American player was positioned as a change in the match and was positioned in an important way by scoring the winning goal that allowed Milan to be the new leader of Serie A. However, something that surprised was seeing Oliver Giroud decided putting on gloves after the goalkeeper is sent off.

 

Genoa arrived with the intention of increasing their score after drawing 2-2 in the last duel against Udinese. On the part of the visiting team, AC Milan won their last two games of the competition against Lazio at home and Cagliari away, by 2-0 and 3-1 respectively and had a streak of three consecutive victories. With this score, the home team is fourteenth, while Milan took the lead in Serie A.

After the break came the goal for the visiting team, who took advantage of the play to open the scoring with a goal from Pulišić on the verge of the end, in the 87th minute, concluding the match with a final result of 1-0. Both coaches moved the substitute benches. The Genoa coach brought on Berkan Kutlu, Ekuban, Puşcaş and Leali for Malinovskyi, Sabelli, Haps and Koni De Winter, while Milan gave the green light to Pulišić, Rafael Leão, Giroud, Calabria and Bartesaghi for Noah Okafor, Chukwueze, Yacine Adli, Florenzi and Luka Jović. Finally, the American scored the first goal.

"It was surreal to see Olivier in goal, but it was incredible, and we're all happy. We played against a defensive team, and it wasn't easy. I like to score goals and help the team win. It's one of "my best starts in terms of goals scored, and I don't want to stop here," Pulisic told Milan TV. The Frenchman, who was wearing Maignan's shirt and gloves, was the hero of an unforgettable finale thanks to which the Milan goes into the break as the sole leader of Serie A with two points ahead of Inter. An unforgettable night.
