- Christian Pulisic provided an assist in his first appearance since the 2026 World Cup, setting up Diego Moreira for a goal in AC Milan's 2-2 Serie A draw at Lazio
- AC Milan came from 2-0 down to secure a point after introducing three substitutes at halftime, including Pulisic, Yunus Musah, and Diego Moreira
- Diego Moreira scored twice in the second half, with both goals assisted by U.S. internationals—Pulisic and Musah—after entering as a halftime substitute
- Ruben Amorim acknowledged Pulisic was 'upset' about prior bench roles but credited the second-half substitutions for transforming the team's energy and performance
- AC Milan remained unbeaten after four Serie A games under new coach Amorim, with two wins and two draws ahead of their Europa League opener against Benfica
Why it matters: Pulisic’s return and immediate impact ends speculation over his role after a disrupted World Cup and limited playing time, giving Amorim a proven attacking option just before a crucial Europa League match. Moreira’s brace validates the coach’s halftime reshuffle, shifting momentum within the squad.
