In a thrilling Sunday afternoon clash at the Stadio Marcantanio Bentegodi, Samuel Chukwueze made his mark by notching his inaugural Serie A goal, propelling AC Milan to a commanding 3-1 victory over Hellas Verona.
Initially starting on the bench, Chukwueze entered the fray in the 76th minute, stepping in for Noah Okafor. In a display of sheer brilliance, the Nigerian winger unleashed a stunning volley amidst a cluster of defenders, finding the back of the net in the 79th minute.
With 17 league appearances under his belt this season, the 24-year-old’s breakthrough goal serves as a much-needed confidence booster. Since his summer transfer from LaLiga outfit Villarreal, Chukwueze has faced relentless scrutiny, making his maiden Serie A goal a significant moment in his AC Milan journey.
The victory not only solidifies AC Milan’s position in the standings but also extends their lead over third-placed Juventus to a comfortable three points, further affirming their title aspirations.
