USMNT star Christian Pulisic sole bright spot as AC Milan stunned by newly-promoted Parma in Serie A

U.S. international Christian Pulisic scored his first Serie A goal of the 2024-25 campaign, but AC Milan lost 2-1 in a stunner to newly-promoted Parma. USMNT teammate Yunus Musah also started for Milan.

AC Milan continue to look disjointed under new manager Paulo Fonseca, who replaced Stefano Pioli following the 2023-24 campaign. It won't get any easier for the Rossoneri as they will now travel to Lazio next weekend ahead of the international break.

Despite the result, Pulisic made history in the contest as he became the first American to score in 10 seasons in Europe's top five leagues -- according to ESPN. Pulisic is already in rare air as a U.S. international and this moment only adds to his legacy.

Musah played 67 minutes in the contest, before being replaced by Youssouf Fofana. Milan had 17 shots, including five on target. Fonseca's had chances but appeared to struggle in midfield and defense.

Last season was Pulisic's career-high in goals scored with the midfielder having 12 goals and eight assists in Serie A.

Playing in a new central role this season, it was encouraging to see the 25-year-old get on the scoresheet.

Milan will now travel to Rome to face Lazio as they aim to get their first win of the Serie A on Aug. 31.
