- Christian Pulisic entered at halftime with Milan down 2-0 and sent a deep cross that Diego Moreira volleyed home, sparking a 20-minute, two-goal rally in the 2-2 draw at Lazio.
- Yunus Musah, another U.S. international sub, provided the cross for the equalizer less than two minutes later, with France midfielder Adrien Rabiot teeing up Moreira's second from the edge of the box.
- Coach Ruben Amorim acknowledged before kickoff that Pulisic was "upset" about being an unused substitute in Milan's first three Serie A matches, then turned to him at the break.
- Pulisic had not played since the 2026 World Cup, where a bone bruise and microfracture in his lower leg forced his withdrawal from the U.S. men's national team's 4-1 round-of-16 loss to Belgium — his second injury of the tournament.
- AC Milan remain unbeaten through four Serie A games (two wins, two draws) under new coach Amorim and next open their Europa League campaign at home to Benfica on Wednesday.
Why it matters: Pulisic turned a disciplinary benching into a match-flipping cameo, giving Amorim cover to manage his minutes and giving Milan momentum heading into Europa League. For the U.S. star, a productive 30-minute shift after a World Cup cut short by injury answers questions about his fitness and club standing.
