Super Eagles' winger Chukwueze makes triumphant Serie A debut with AC Milan
Posted : 22 August 2023
Nigerian winger Samuel Chukwueze marked his AC Milan debut during their 2-0 triumph against Bologna on Serie A's opening matchday at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on Monday evening.
The seven-time European champions seized their first goal of the night with Olivier Giroud, who was assisted by Tijjani Reijnders.
Giroud played a key role in the second goal, assisting United States international Christian Pulisic to secure Rossoneri's lead.
Chukwueze entered the field as a substitute in the 73rd minute, replacing Pulisic.
Although his involvement was limited, Chukwueze had a brief opportunity in the 76th minute during a corner kick, which Bologna's defense managed to clear.
The 24-year-old had a modest role as AC Milan aimed to safeguard their lead upon his entry.
Chukwueze made 12 touches, attempted a single dribble, and completed 63% of his passes.
Facing competition from the impressive Pulisic, Chukwueze will have another chance to showcase his abilities when AC Milan faces Torino at San Siro Stadium on Saturday.
