WHAT HAPPENED?
A cheeky assist from Rafael Leao handed Pulisic the ball on the left side of the box, and after a stunning shimmy move, the American cut in on his left foot and fired to the far post with a low-driven effort. It was his 11th goal of the campaign across all competitions for the Rossoneri.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
After winning the first tie 4-2 at home at the San Siro, Pulisic and co. already had a hefty advantage. However, a 20th minute red card to Prague's Tomas Holes set the home side back even further after he stomped on the leg of Antonio Calabria. With Pulisic's effort, the Rossoneri are now in pole position to advance to the quarter-finals.
