Samuel Chukwueze scored his first goal in the colours of AC Milan but it was not enough as they suffered a 3-1 loss to Borussia Dortmund at the San Siro in Tuesday night’s UEFA Champions League Group F action.
The Rossoneri started the game brightly and were awarded a penalty in the sixth minute after Chukwueze’s close range shot was blocked by Nico Schlotterbeck. Veteran French striker Olivier Giroud however had his effort saved by Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel. The opportunity proved costly as Marco Reus handed Dortmund the lead four minutes later from the penalty spot.
Chukwueze’s moment for his first Milan goal came in the 37th minute when he drilled in a fierce strike that took a deflection on its way in to level the game going into the halftime break.
