Milan came close to not winning against Como, having found itself down by a goal after the first half and also risking conceding the second. But it was able to come back and win 3 vital points for both the standings and morale.
The equalizer was provided by the usual Christian Pulisic, one of those players who even in difficult matches can find the cue to be decisive. At 53′ he pierced Jean Butez with a left-footed shot from a deflected position made from inside the area. Assisted by Tijjani Reijnders, then the author of the winning goal. Not surprisingly, it was two players of high quality and who are among the best of a fairly bad Rossoneri season who made an impact.

The last Milan player to score at least 15 goals in his first two seasons in the Rossoneri was Zlatan Ibrahimovic: 21 goals in 41 games in 2010/11, 35 in 44 the following season. Milan’s number 11 is confirming himself at a high level, although he has had his moments of low performance, due both to a suboptimal physical condition and a team context that has not always helped him.
In any case, he is undoubtedly one of the best players Sergio Conceicao has today. The Portuguese coach is banking so much on him to have a positive end to the season. In Serie A there is a chance to climb a few positions to grab a European qualification. And there is also the Coppa Italia, by overcoming Inter in the semifinals there would be a chance to try to win the second trophy of the season and gain access to the next Europa League.
Pulisic is happy in Milan, where he has been reborn after an unexciting period at Chelsea. In the San Siro post-match he spoke clearly: “This club gives me confidence and it is the club of my life. I want to continue here.” Soon he is expected to sign a contract renewal until June 2029/2030.
