In a Serie A showdown on Saturday, Samuel Chukwueze showcased his playmaking skills, providing his inaugural assist in AC Milan’s encounter with Lecce, which ultimately ended in a 2-2 draw.
This marks Chukwueze’s first assist in eight appearances in the Italian elite league, signifying a significant contribution to Milan’s performance.
After Olivier Giroud’s opening goal in the 28th minute, Chukwueze orchestrated the second goal, setting up Tijani Reijnders in the 35th minute.
Despite Milan’s initial lead, Lecce mounted a comeback, forcing the teams to share the points in this closely contested match.
Currently holding third place with 23 points after 12 games this season, Milan faces strong competition in the Serie A standings.
Chukwueze, who recently returned to the team after recovering from injury, continues to make an impact following his absence.
Notably, he missed selection for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Lesotho and Zimbabwe.
