MILAN — Christian Pulisic helped spark AC Milan’s comeback at Lazio for a 2-2 draw on Saturday in the United States midfielder’s first appearance for his Italian club this season.
Milan was trailing by two goals in the Serie A match in Rome when new coach Rúben Amorim sent on Pulisic and new signing Diego Moreira at halftime.
Pulisic made a quick impact in his first action in two months, lobbing a pass to the far post for Moreira to smash in his first goal in the 65th minute. Moreira needed just two minutes to fire a second goal in from distance and split the points.
Pulisic had not played since he sustained a bone bruise along with microfractures to his tibia and fibula when the U.S. exited the World Cup in a loss to Belgium in July.
