Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze was in action during AC Milan’s 2-1 defeat to Torino in Saturday’s Serie A clash.
Chukwueze, making his 20th appearance of the season with two goals so far, entered the game as a substitute in the 88th minute, replacing Alejandro Jimenez.
Torino took the lead in unusual fashion after just five minutes when Mike Maignan’s clearance struck Malick Thiaw and deflected into his own net.
Milan had a prime chance to draw level in the 32nd minute after Marcus Pedersen’s handball awarded them a penalty, but Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic saved Christian Pulisic’s spot-kick.
Milinkovic-Savic continued to frustrate Milan with several crucial saves until the 74th minute when Tijjani Reijnders finally broke through, firing a powerful strike into the top corner.
However, Torino quickly responded just two minutes later. Gieitis capitalized on a free-kick, sending a low shot past Maignan to secure the decisive goal and hand Milan another disappointing defeat.
