Chukwueze nets goal for AC Milan in UCL Showdown against Borussia Dortmund
Super Eagles star, Samuel Chukwueze scored a sensational goal for AC Milan in their UEFA Champions League game against Borussia Dortmund at the San Siro Stadium.
The winger’s goal nullified an early strike from Marco Reus, following a missed penalty by Olivier Giroud, earned by the Nigerian international.
Reus converted from the penalty spot in the 10th minute after Jamie Bynoe-Gittens was brought down by Davide Calabria in the box.
Chukwueze, making his third UCL appearance since his summer move from Villarreal to Milan, equalized 27 minutes later with an extraordinary goal.
In a video posted on social media, the Nigerian winger skillfully maneuvered past two Dortmund players to elegantly score with his left foot in the 37th minute.
Chukwueze posed a continuous threat throughout the match against the German giants and created an opportunity for Yacine Adli to score, which could have given Milan the lead. Unfortunately, the midfielder missed the chance.
All the promising attacks from AC Milan in the first half were orchestrated through the efforts of the Nigerian star, and many considered him the standout player on the field in the initial 45 minutes.
However, the Italian side’s aspirations of clinching all three points and securing their position were thwarted in the second half, as Bynoe-Gittens and Karim Adeyemi secured the result for Dortmund.
