Santiago Giménez Scores First AC Milan Goal in 2-0 Win Over Empoli, Assisted by Christian Pulisic in Impactful Serie A Performance

Santiago Giménez marked his debut goal for AC Milan in their 2-0 victory over Empoli, capitalizing on an assist from Christian Pulisic, who made a significant impact off the bench with two assists.  

The Mexican striker recently joined AC Milan from Feyenoord in a deal worth €32 million, signing a contract that runs until June 30, 2029. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Giménez began his professional career with Cruz Azul before moving to the Netherlands, where he became a key figure for Feyenoord. During his tenure, he amassed 65 goals in 105 appearances and helped the club secure multiple domestic titles, including the Eredivisie and KNVB Cup.  

In his latest performance for Milan, Giménez sealed the victory after Pulisic’s precise delivery, following the American’s earlier assist to Rafael Leão, who had opened the scoring with a header. The match saw both sides reduced to ten men, with Milan’s Fikayo Tomori and Empoli’s Luca Marianucci receiving red cards.  

With this victory, AC Milan now sits in seventh place in the Serie A standings with 38 points, while Empoli remains just above the relegation zone with 21 points. Giménez’s arrival and immediate impact signal a promising future for the Rossoneri’s attacking lineup.
