Pulisic returned to scoring form for AC Milan in their 3-1 triumph over Verona. The American striker found the back of the net shortly after the start of the second half, marking his 12th goal across all competitions this season – a personal best for him in a single campaign.

In the Verona match, Pulisic capitalized on being in the right place at the right time, securing an easy tap-in after the ball was deflected into his path just six yards from goal. This goal extended his scoring streak to four consecutive games for Milan.

His teammate at the club, Okafor, jokingly suggested he deserves credit for Pulisic’s recent goal spree, as it was his shot that led to the rebound eventually falling to Pulisic. Okafor could have attempted a shot himself or crossed the ball, but he playfully acknowledged his contribution on social media, writing “I saw u” after assisting Pulisic’s run from midfield.

With domestic competitions winding down, Pulisic’s focus is set to shift to international duty as he prepares for the CONCACAF Nations League semi-final against Jamaica with the USMNT. The team aims to clinch continental glory before turning their attention to hosting the Copa America tournament later this summer.
