Christian Pulisic quieted as AC Milan ties Borussia Dortmund in Champions League

Christian Pulisic made his return to Signal Iduna Park on Wednesday night in the UEFA Champions League, but it ended up being a quiet performance for the in-form AC Milan attacker.

Pulisic and his Rossoneri teammates were held in check as AC Milan tied Borussia Dortmund 0-0 in their second group stage match of this season’s competition. Pulisic started and played 69 minutes in Stefano Pioli’s squad while Yunus Musah logged 90 minutes in his first UCL start of his career.

Both teams had ample opportunities to find the back of the net, but were unable to do so in a luckluster draw. Pulisic recorded one shot on target, but failed to win any of his five duels and only completed 11 passes in total.

Musah won three of his nine duels in midfield, making one interception and six recoveries. The 20-year-old had made only previous start for AC Milan this season following his permanent move from Valencia this summer.

Fellow U.S. men’s national team teammate Gio Reyna was an unused substitute yet again for Borussia Dortmund. The 20-year-old Reyna is still seeking his first minutes of the new season after missing ample time due to a calf injury suffered in June.

AC Milan travels to Genoa in Serie A action on Saturday in its final match before the October international break while Borussia Dortmund visits Union Berlin in Bundesliga play on the same day.
