USMNT's Christian Pulisic scores brace for AC Milan as Rossoneri come from behind to defeat Lecce in Serie A

Christian Pulisic scored twice as AC Milan came from 2-0 down to defeat Lecce 3-2 in Serie A action on Saturday. After an own-goal forced by Joao Felix earned them a goal back midway through the first half, the U.S. international was fouled in the box earning a penalty kick - and he scored his attempt with a thunderous effort in the 73rd minute.

Then, with nine minutes to spare, Pulisic was fed a fantastic ball by Rafael Leao and he smashed home to complete the comeback.

The brace served as the American's first goals for the club across all competitions since January, as he was blanked across eight matches through the month of February. The two goals bring his Serie A total to eight goals this season, along with six assists.

Fellow U.S. international Yunus Musah started the match, too, but was substituted off the pitch in the 75th minute.

With the three points, Milan sit in eighth place on 44 points, eight points off of 4th place Juventus and Champions League Soccer in 2025-26.

This is Milan's first win since Feb. 15, with their last victory coming over Verona in a 1-0 result.

The Rossoneri are back in action on Saturday, March 15 against Cesc Fabregas's Como. Then, the international break begins, where both Musah and Pulisic are expected to be called up for the CONCACAF Nations League by U.S. manager Mauricio Pochettino.
