WHAT HAPPENED?
U.S. international Christian Pulisic and AC Milan were stunned by Dutch Eredivisie side Feyenoord 1-0 Wednesday evening in the UEFA Champions League. The match was Leg 1 of a two-legged series in the Knockout Round Playoffs.
Pulisic, meanwhile, only logged 60 minutes before being removed from the contest after a tough showing in their attack. Fellow American Yunus Musah, meanwhile, was suspended for the clash due to a red card he received in their Group Stage finale against Dinamo Zagreb.
The contest was away in Rotterdam, and the second leg will determine a victor in Milan at the San Siro.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
The attack fell short on a rainy, cold, and windy evening in the Netherlands.
Feyenoord's opening goal came off a long-driven effort from Igor Paixao, with Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan failing to parry the ball out of danger as it slid across his hands into the back of the net. It was a fluke of an effort and a chance that the France international will want back.
Pulisic, meanwhile, completed 18 of 22 pass attempts, registering just 36 touches on an off evening for the winger.
Musah will be eligible to play in Leg 2.
