The goal sparked a late comeback from Milan and it was none other than Pulisic's USMNT teammate, Yunus Musah who all-but sent the Rossoneri through to the Italian Super Cup final. The 22-year-old's cross was deflected into the back of the net by Federico Gatti to give Milan the 1–2 lead.

Pulisic will also have a chance to go up against his national teammate Weston McKennie who is in Thiago Motta's XI while fellow Americans Tim Weah and Yunus Musah will have to start the clash on the bench. With the chance that four Americans could take the pitch, this is also one for national team manager Mauricio Pochettino to keep an eye on.
