One Scored a Penalty, and the Other Assisted the Equalizer in a Five-Goal Thriller
Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah played pivotal roles in AC Milan's stunning 3-2 victory over Parma on Sunday, helping the team secure a dramatic win in stoppage time. Pulisic converted a crucial penalty and was involved in the buildup to the winning goal, while Musah provided the key assist for Tijjani Reijnders' equalizer.
"We have to show this hunger at the beginning of the match, too," Pulisic said after the game. "But it's a very important victory for us."
Pulisic, now joint top scorer for Milan with six league goals, demonstrated his importance to the team. Despite struggling in the first half, his penalty strike to the bottom right corner tied the match.
Musah's performance was particularly notable, especially in the second half. His well-timed through ball found Reijnders, who leveled the score in the 91st minute. This assist was crucial in turning the tide for Milan, who had been trailing 2-1 and facing potential defeat. Samuel Chukwueze would score the winner a few minutes later.
The win moves Milan to sixth place in Serie A, just five points behind fourth-placed Lazio. The victory also provides a significant boost ahead of their crucial Champions League match against Dinamo Zagreb and the upcoming Milan derby. Pulisic and Musah's performances highlighted their growing influence in the Milan squad and their ability to make decisive contributions when it matters most.
