Pulisic Assist in Milan’s Win

Winger Delivered Corner Kick to Help Double AC Milan’s Lead in the Victory over Udinese

Christian Pulisic played a decisive role in AC Milan's commanding 4-0 win over Udinese despite not scoring himself. The American winger was particularly influential in the crucial first half when Milan gained control of the match, delivering an excellent corner kick that led to Strahinja Pavlovic's header just before halftime—a goal that put Milan up 2-0 and effectively changed the complexion of the game.

Statistics highlight Pulisic's creative influence throughout the 90 minutes. He created a match-leading four scoring chances and delivered six corners. However, his passing accuracy was moderate at 74% (17/23 completed).

Pulisic's performance wasn't without struggles—he lost six duels (the most in the match) and failed to complete either of his two attempted dribbles. Despite these challenges, his set-piece delivery proved crucial in breaking down Udinese's defense.

The victory represents a significant turning point for Milan, who had been struggling with poor results before this match. Coach Sergio Conceicao's tactical shift to a 3-4-3 formation ultimately paid dividends, with Pulisic adapting effectively to help deliver Milan's first clean sheet since February.
