  "account": "Christian Pulisic returned to AC Milan in the super sub role for his season debut, making a significant impact in a 2-2 comeback draw against Lazio in Serie A. The 28-year-old winger was substituted into the game at halftime after expressing frustration over reduced playing time due to injuries during the World Cup and a club training mishap. Pulisic's influence was evident as he orchestrated the majority of AC Milan's attacking opportunities, tallying 15 accurate passes, and earned two yellow cards in the process. His impact on the team was most notable when he set up the first goal of the match, providing a precise cross to Diego Moreira, who sealed his brace with a clinical finish. The occasion marked Moreira's second consecutive appearance for Milan, contributing to their remarkable resilience in overcoming a 2-0 deficit to secure a draw at Rome's Stadio Olimpico.",
