It's Captain America, baby.
Christian Pulisic came up big once again for AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League, scoring the momentary equalizer against GNK Dinamo Zagreb. The American received the ball at the edge of the 18-yard box, took a quick turn and sliced the ball into the bottom left corner in the 53rd minute.

Pulisic, big one for Milan.

This is Pulisic's fourth goal in the Champions League this season — becoming the only U.S. men's national team player to ever score four goals in a single campaign.

The goal came just minutes after a nightmare end to the first half, with U.S. men's national team's Yunus Musah receiving two yellow cards and getting sent off just 40 minutes into the game.
Whenever we think Yunus Musah is starting to make progress, there’s always a setback. Insanely stupid red card. pic.twitter.com/CjqY3y7iNo

This ultimately sentenced the rossoneri to a tough-to-swallow loss, denying them the chance to finish in the top-8 of the tournament — sealing a spot in the round of 16.
