Americans Lift a Trophy

Trailing by Two Goals, AC Milan Came Back to Capture Supercoppa Italiana

Christian Pulisic continued his impressive form for AC Milan, scoring a crucial equalizer in a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory over Inter Milan to claim the Supercoppa Italiana on Monday. The American international netted his 10th goal of the season in the 80th minute, cleverly creating space before firing through through the Carlos Augusto's legs to level the score at 2-2.

The 26-year-old, who recently returned from a month-long absence due to a calf injury, has now scored in consecutive matches following his goal in Friday's semifinal win over Juventus. His impact wasn't limited to scoring, as he also played a key role in Tammy Abraham's stoppage-time winner with a well-placed pass for Rafael Leao to supply the cross.

Fellow American Yunus Musah put in a solid shift in midfield before being substituted, earning praise for his positioning and ability to progress the ball forward. His swift movement and ball control helped Milan unlock several attacking opportunities during his 77 minutes on the pitch.

The victory marked new manager Sergio Conceicao's first trophy after just one week in charge, with Pulisic crediting the coach's emphasis on "hunger" over tactics for the team's turnaround. The American attacker has now reached double figures in goals for the second-straight season with Milan, having scored 15 times in the previous campaign.
