USMNT's Yunus Musah steps in for injured Christian Pulisic in AC Milan's Champions League win against FK Crvena Zvezda

U.S. international Yunus Musah started and played 83 minutes in AC Milan's 2-1 Champions League win over FK Crvena Zvezda, filling in for injured fellow American Christian Pulisic.

Milan took the lead just before the break thanks to a strike from star winger Rafael Leao in the 42nd mistake. FK Crvena Zvezda's Nemanja Radonjić came off the bench and equalized in the 67th minute. Former Chelsea star Tammy Abraham iced three points in the dying moments of the game with an 87th-minute winner.

The 22-year-old, who has had an inconsistent role and played multiple positions for the Rossoneri, filled in admirably for his national teammate but did have a costly mistake that led to the equalizer. The American midfielder was dribbling with the ball when he was easily stripped just outside of Milan's box. Radonjić capitalized on a man-advantage on the break to score.

Overall, Musah had one key pass, two successful dribbles and completed 72.2 percent of his passes.

This season Musah has played six positions for club and country - attacking midfielder, central midfielder, defensive midfielder, left and right winger and right back.

While that speaks to his impressive versatility, it also indicates a player who is still trying to find his best fit on the pitch.

AC Milan host Genoa on Dec. 15 and Verona on Dec. 20 before going on a nine-day Christmas break.
